The message that for the first time a one is set ‘Integrated and rigorous framework for submitting tax returns’ The prime minister sent a visit on the morning of Wednesday, April 9, to the Independent Public Revenue Authority (AADE).
Mr. Mitsotakis The Governor of AADE George Pitsilis welcomed. Earlier, the Minister of National Economy and Finance Kyriakos Pierrakakis had arrived at the site.
As government officials note, Mr. Mitsotakis’ visit “It is held at a time when a comprehensive and rigorous framework for the submission of tax returns has been implemented for the first time, and fines are imposed for the first time on public bodies that do not transmit the information necessary for the intersection and pre -filing in income tax returns.”
Government officials argue that “applying fixed dates for submitting statements offers significant benefits for citizens, industry professionals and accountants, as it facilitates planning and organization.
Taxpayers accurately know the start and expiration dates of statements, from March 15 to July 30 for legal entities and from March 15 to July 15 for natural persons. “
This year’s tax returns are accompanied by targeted interventions for a fairer and more tax -friendly tax environment, such as:
• Extension of the number of pre-cleaned statements: For the tax year 2024, more than 1.3 million statements, which relate to more than 1.5 million taxpayers, are pre-paid and pre-cleared by AADE. This means an increase of about 100,000 statements compared to the previous year.
• MAKERS Early Submission with a gradual tax deduction of 2 to 4% In case of one -off payment.
• Obligation of all debtors for the timely sending of information to AADE with sanctions.
According to the data until yesterday, April 7, they have been submitted:
• 1.071.441 statements of natural persons, and
• 21.637 Statements of Legal Entities/Legal Entities.
Last year, on the corresponding day (22nd day after the commencement of submission), 411,865 statements of natural persons had been submitted, demonstrating this year’s significant increase in rate of submissions.
With the automatic pre -installation 1,323,294 statements have been selected, of which 308,854 statements have already been finalized.
Mr. Mitsotakis: We are encouraging even more to use this important motivation
“Those who submit their tax return until April 30 have a 4%discount. Many of our fellow citizens, over 1 million, have already responded. So we encourage even more to rush and use This important motivation, “Kyriakos Mitsotakis stressed during the presentation of the data by AADE Governor George Pitsilis, Minister of National Economy and Finance Kyriakos Pierrakakis and Deputy Minister George Kotsiras.
“It is clear that there is finally a class in the process of submitting tax returns, with incentives that are not obedient. The elements are really impressive and I think this is also confirmed by the central message of the reward of consistency and obviously, of the no -ability of the state to give extensions for a process Which must be completely institutionalized and everyone knows that the dates we have identified are completely binding, “the prime minister said.
In addition, as evidenced by the figures, the pre-paid and pre-cleaned statements have increased by about 100,000 compared to last year. To a large extent thanks to the timely registration of all public bodies in the Special Register of AADE, which facilitated the registration of their staff tax information. The obligation to register for public bodies was legislated last year and provided for a fine on the heads of services who would not deliver the necessary information in time.
Pre-cleaned statements are now more than 1.5 million taxpayers.
