Greece’s independent public revenues authority has reportedly commenced an urgent sample audit of some 2,500 hotels across the country, amid the current height of the summer tourism season.
Tax auditors are cross-checking gross revenue declared by the businesses along VAT remittances they have paid to the state and with figures on overnight stays.
The sample is one-tenth of the total on a relevant list of hotels and accommodations in the country.
