Greek government spox: 71% of freelancers declare lower income than minimum wage

The draft bill changing tax regulations does not relate to freelancers or independent business owners alone but to all of society and aims to deal with tax evasion better, government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis told MEGA TV’s ‘Mega Savvatokyriako’ show on Sunday, ANA reports.

Referring to freelancers, Marinakis noted, “We must all admit that it is not possible for 1 out of 2 freelancers to declare only losses and 71% of them to declare below minimum wage” as income on their annual income tax declarations. “Is everyone in this 71% a tax evader? No, neither are the remaining 29%,” he added.
