Mini Tax Bill to Be Tabled in Greek Parliament on June 16

A mini tax draft bill submitted by the Greece’s Finance Ministry will be tabled at the Parliament plenum for approval on Tuesday, June 16, in a fast track procedure, a move that was widely criticized by the opposition. Apart from the SYRIZA/ANEL coalition, the bill is expected to be approved by New Democracy, “To Potami” and PASOK, which also approved it in principle during its discussion at the parliament committee. Greek Alternate Finance Minister Nadia Valavani faced criticism for tabling the bill while Greeks are in the process of submitting their tax declarations and admitted there has been significant delay. “It is unacceptable that we submitted it with such delay and with tax declarations still ongoing, but this bill includes favorable regulations for lifting (even at the eleventh hour) extreme injustices of the tax system,” she said.
