A part of the excessive surplus will be distributed to the most vulnerable citizens and to people who were overtaxed, government spokesman Stelios Petsas said on Thursday in an interview with Skai.gr, according to ANA.
The 2020 surplus target will be at 3.5 percent and the goal is to have it reduced as of 2021 in order to channel this money to tax and contribution reductions as well as social benefits.
Regarding the new social security contributions for freelancers, Petsas stressed that they allow those in the intermediate categories to pay less, which would be an incentive to declare their real incomes. He added that this will fill the coffers of the social security funds.
