Expanded cooperation between Greek and Bulgarian tax authorities, especially in terms of information exchange and combating tax evasion, dominated a meeting in Athens on Friday between the chief of Greece’s independent Public Revenues Authority, Giorgos Pitsilis, and his Bulgarian counterpart, Galya Dimitrova.
The main goal by the Greek side is to stem a growing phenomenon of Greece-based businesses using a national transfer of their registered headquarters to neighboring Bulgaria, in order to take advantage of the latter’s lower corporate tax rates.
Along these lines, both sides discussed the effectiveness of the current double tax avoidance treaty between the two neighbors and the possibility of expanding legal tools against tax evasion.
The two EU member states also discussed the problem of bootleg trading of various goods, especially products under the EU’s customs procedure 4200.
