Greek Labor Minister: Indirect Taxes Are Unfair

Greek Labor Minister Panos Skourletis, speaking to Greek TV on Tuesday, called indirect taxes unfair, while referring to the VAT changes he said transactions that were uncontrolled until today will be checked. Regarding the Unified Property Tax (ENFIA), Skourletis quoted Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ statements that “ENFIA will be abolished but the date is closely connected with the conditions.” “Nobody can make predictions while a negotiation is underway,” said the Greek Minister referring in parallel to SYRIZA’s campaign that “what we want to do during the first and second year of our governance, must be extended to a four-year period.” He asked the Greek society to show “patience,” which he believes that the citizens are willing to show if they understand that the current government “will change the course.” The result of the abolition and suspension is the same, he said referring to the zero deficit clause, for which he noted that will not be implemented and pledged that it will be abolished in September.
