The National Economy and Finance Ministry has based its policy on six main pillars.
The Greek government is taking a firm stance on tax compliance and public sector efficiency through a new tax reform bill. Finance Minister Kostis Hatzidakis introduced measures that include penalties for state officials who fail to submit taxpayer data on time, starting at €2,500 for delays.
This reform marks a critical shift in accountability, with public institutions like the National Health Service and social security funds required to provide accurate tax information. Failure to comply will result in fines and daily charges for delays, aimed at addressing historical inefficiencies in Greece’s tax system.
The bill also incentivizes early tax filings with discounts and introduces new rules regarding taxation of tips. The government’s push for timely tax submissions reflects a commitment to improving financial transparency and compliance across public agencies in Greece.
