Deputy Finance Minister Trifon Alexiadis announced that there would be an extension until the end of 2016 for all major tax evasion cases which are currently under review.

He also stated that the bill on voluntary disclosure of bank deposits would be submitted very soon, while he mentioned that the ministry targets on unscheduled audits for big businesses, like the ones conducted in Germany.

Regarding the ENFIA tax to be applied on properties abroad, he described a system like the one used by the Italian government.

“One of the suggestions is to apply Monti’s law, according to which a 0.76% tax is imposed on the value of properties abroad which belong to Italians”, he said.
