The Greek government plans to lighten the burden on taxpayers and enterprises with new tax legislation to be put on public consultation next week and scheduled to be ratified in Parliament by the end of the month, Finance Minister Christos Staikouras said, according to ANA.
Speaking to Skai TV on Thursday night, Staikouras announced the ministry was examining plans to introduce incentives for taxpayers to demand receipts from specific categories of professionals with high tax-evasion rates. He noted that taxpayers with annual income up to 8,500 euros will have a 20 pct reduction in tax, while for annual incomes more than 26,000 the tax reduction will be at a one-digit percentage rate. Finally, for enterprises and particularly medium-sized the tax reduction will reach 41 pct.
