Greece modifies proposal to maintain tax breaks for islands

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Greece wants to keep tax breaks for its islands as part of an aid-for-reforms deal with its lenders, a government official said on Thursday, in a change from proposals it made on Monday when it offered to scrap the exemption. Tax breaks for islands are a sensitive issue for the Independent Greeks party that is the junior coalition partner in Greece's government and the party's leader has threatened to quit the coalition if they are scrapped.
