The Ministry of Finance cannot believe in their eyes with the results of the new property tax. With the liquidation of the Single Tax Property would bring revenue to the state of almost 500 million euro, which is half a billion more than what was originally assumed and as a result a plan for reductions has already put forward .
Approximately seven million owners will have to pay around 3.7 billion euro by the end of 2014.
The bill “inflated” because the burden of land and fields and possibly some errors in completing the relevant form and now the government is considering scenarios for direct reduction.
According to the Greek newspaper “Nea” a member of Maximu had said that “the tax must urgently come to a straight line ” voicing his concern about the reactions of the society of such a heavy tax.
According to reports, the government already is working on scenarios of a horizontal reduction of about 5%, or changes in the rates calculation.
However, the second option seems rather difficult and time consuming, given the narrow margins on payment of tax by the end of the year.
