Ministry mulling new tax amnesty to collect revenues
The government is considering a new amnesty for tax arrears in a bid to
collect 1.5 billion euros, sources have told Kathimerini.
The measure was used in 2010 by then Finance Minister Giorgos
Papaconstantinou but was criticized by some for allowing tax evaders to get off
lightly.
Under the scheme, individuals are allowed to pay a one-off fee so their
outstanding tax affairs are not investigated. It is believed that Greece’s
lenders do not want a repeat of such measures.
The amnesty could cover arrears up to the end of 2011, sources told
Kathimerini. The Finance Ministry will also introduce fast-track auditing
procedures to clamp down on evaders, sources
added. |
