Property owners still trying to make sense of ENFIA

Tax owed for real estate was posted on TAXISnet on Friday, however the amounts signal a rude awakening for those who filled out submissions incorrectly

The uniform real estate ownership tax (ENFIA) processed results for 2014 based on E9 real estate taxes lodged by taxpayers. They began by gradually posting on the tax authority’s public electronic network TAXISnet on Friday.

The specific tax concerns taxpayers who own real estate in Greece, for any purpose, whether just land or building, for private or professional exploitation.

The first of ENFIA’s  five payable instalments is due by the end of August and needs to be settled even though no printed notification for money owed will be sent to the taxpayers. Instead, property owners have the onus of logging into TAXISnet with their special code on www.gsis.gr and printing the result statement of total tax owed and the instalment dates in which it needs to be paid either at commercial banks or the Post Office.

Meanwhile, thousands of households are trying to make sense of the instructions by downloading two or three statements depending on how many family members own the property as one submission per family member is required with taxes shared out in the cases of collective ownership.

In a number of cases, the taxes are heftier than they should be due to incorrect submissions.
