The government is planning incentives for taxpayers who meet their tax obligations consistently and settle their arrears promptly. These bonuses are set to take effect from 2025, rewarding responsible taxpayers.

Deputy Minister of Finance Christos Dimas announced, “We are considering significant incentives for the following year, offering financial rewards to taxpayers who file their tax returns early and fulfill their dues promptly.”

Possible incentives include a 5% discount for early payment of income tax, ENFIA, and social security contributions, increased chances in the monthly lottery draw by the tax authority, reduced interest rates on future debts to the state, quicker tax refunds, and decreased money withheld for debtors seeking repayment from the state.

The level of taxpayer reliability will determine the extent of bonuses, with strict measures for non-compliance. Withholding rates will decrease based on the number of paid installments and amount owed.
