Tax reliefs that will result from the tax reform announced at the TIF, the benefits of employees and retirees, as well as the interventions to reduce accuracy, were reported by Deputy Minister of Interior Vassilis Spanakis in an interview with Radio.

For the benefits of tax reliefs, Mr Spanakis said that the reduction of tax rates and tax reduction means that employees, pensioners, will have fewer bookings and see this in payrolls paid late December and of course. He added that the reduction in tax rates is multiple of inflation, and especially for retirees he said they would have a triple positive intervention, that is, from personal difference, financial support and tax reducing tax rates.

For tax deductions, the Deputy Minister of Interior noted that Greece will now have lower rates than EU countries. “In Spain it is 24%, in France it reaches 30%, in Italy at 35%. We have an introductory tax rate of 9%, so far below other European countries, we reach 20%for families with children going to 16%, goes to 9%, go to 0%for large families, “he said.

As he said, “all this will bring an increase in disposable income and is a basis for how to continue tax cuts and in the coming years”, adding, stressing that “our philosophy and DNA of our lineup is to reduce taxes, direct and indirect, without that. So in the coming years we expect better results, we will have new positive measures. “

Regarding accuracy control, he noted that the government has taken specific measures, such as activating the control mechanism and targeted controls, while assuring that “in the issues of controls, targeted audits and for categories of products that affect the daily life of all households”.

Finally, Mr. Spanakis also referred to the issue of reducing VAT, saying that “of course we want to go to a reduction in VAT, but we will not leave the budget, because you can go to a VAT reduction and go on another tax. As far as the steering wheel of the country is the New Democracy no tax will increase. Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ government has brought 72 reductions to burdens. So there is no, nor will it exist, as much as the steering wheel of the country is a ND government, an increase in either indirect or direct tax. “
