Τhe government’s economic staff is planning new measures against tax evasion, after the implementation of the digital platforms, in view of the submission of the second tax bill in parliament in the autumn.

Based on the calculations of the financial staff, tax evasion in Greece amounts to 8-10 billion euros on an annual basis. Proed that this amount is reduced, the way would be opened for lower taxes, and even the abolition of Uniform Real Estate Ownership Tax (ENFIA), or the further increase of expenditure on health and education.
