The dynamics of the Greek economy will surprise us in the coming years, stressed Deputy Finance Minister Theodoros Skylakakis.
As he explained while speaking to SKAI, a large part of the Recovery Fund’s resources are entering now, while in the next two years a hostof private investments, a whole mountain – as he characteristically stated – will enter the economy. These together with the continuation of the reforms can make the Greek economy, the economy that will stand out in Europe in the next four years, he emphasized.
Tax evasion
In order to deal with tax evasion, Mr. Skylakakis pointed out that within the next year the implementation of the measures will begin through the Recovery Fund.
Among them, as he mentioned, is the connection of the POS with the cash registers and the obligation to have an online freight manifest for all the goods that are traded.
He emphasized that Independent Authority for Public Revenue – AADE and electronic invoicing are actively involved in dealing with the problem.
He pointed out that a few years ago Greece was second or third in tax evasion, with a big difference from the rest, while in recent years there has been a significant reduction, clarifying that from around four billion euros in 2019, Greece fell below 3 billion in 2021 according to the Commission’s preliminary data.
