An additional EUR 3.8 billion were added within one year to the overdue debt 4.2 million taxpayers to the tax administration, resulting in the total amount of debtor To rise to the end of April at 110.8 billion euros last April.
Debt “radiography” shows, of course, that the number of debts with debts of up to 50 euros was reduced by 452,472, as opposed to “big” debtors (with debts of more than € 1 million), whose debts were raised by 2.1 billion euros. It is 0.2% of all debtors (essentially 9,865 legal entities) who owe an average of more than € 8.5 million each. Their total debt amounts to EUR 84.47 billion and accounts for 76.2% of total arrears to the tax office.
90.9% of taxpayers have up to 10,000 euros, with the total amount of debts of this group amounting to only 3.5% of the total.
Despite the new debt swelling, just 4.3% of the actual overdue balance, ie € 3.62 billion, has been included in a settlement program with most of the regulated debts of 35.2% for amounts from 500 to 10,000 euros, a sign that compliance is almost exclusively limited to “small” debtors.
Apocalyptic data on arrears to the tax administration are included in a special chapter of the quarterly report of the State Budget Office in Parliament (GKPB):
– 23.8% of the total amount of arrears, which corresponds to € 26.3 billion, relates to debts that have been designated as “unpaid recovery”. These are debts whose collection is objectively impossible, under the conditions set out in the Code of Public Revenue Collection (KEDE). They include cases in which the debtor and his co -owners have no assets and the process of enforcement on the debtor’s mobile, real estate and claims (and the bankruptcy work has ceased to be poor).
These debts recorded a slight increase on an annual basis by EUR 25.5 million.
About 65% of the unpaid debt collection stems from the fines, and in particular from the tax fines. At the same time, debt collection incorrectly include tax debts of 31.2% and non -tax debts of 3.9%.
Most of the tax debts included in the undeclared collection of debts relate to indirect taxes (specifically VAT) which make up almost 20% of debt collection, while the smallest part comes from taxes in property.
– The “real overdue balance” accounts for 76.2% of the total debt and amounted to EUR 84.45 billion in 1st/5/2025, increasing an increase of EUR 3,726 billion compared to 1st/5/2024.
60.69% of the “real overdue balance”, which corresponds to € 51.2 billion, stems from tax debts.
The remaining amount of EUR 33.25 billion comes from other debt categories, which have a low recovery rate. These include fines (tax and non -tax) which make up 28.88% of the actual overdue balance, as they reach EUR 24.39 billion and non -tax debts (loans, costs, charges, etc.), which accounts for € 10.42%.
– Given that EUR 8.52 billion from tax debts stem from insolvent debtors and € 15.3 billion relating to debts with a installment expiry of the last decade, remaining 27.42 billion euros of debts from which, according to AADE data, stems more than 90% of the receipts. Thus: almost all of the receipts comes from only 32.5% of the actual overdue balance or from 24.74% of the total amount of overdue debts.
– At the end of April 2025, the number of debtors of the tax administration amounted to 4,242,507 natural and legal entities. Compared to the end of April 2024, there is a decrease by 403,084 persons (natural and legal). This reduction comes from the lower debt categories (up to EUR 50), with the number of debtors decreasing by 452,472 persons and confined to 1,135,882 persons. On the contrary, higher amounts of debts record increases in the number of debtors, with the largest in the category between EUR 10,000 and 100,000 euros (by 20,215 persons) and between EUR 50 and 500 (by 24,820 persons).
– Only 3.5% of the debts corresponds to debts of up to 10,000 euros, while the remaining 96.5% of the debts cover amounts greater than 10,000 euros. In particular, 76.23% of the total overdue balance, which corresponds to a total of EUR 84.467 billion, consists of amounts of debts of more than EUR 1,000,000 which owes only 9,865 debtors, ie 0.2% of total debtors. On the contrary, 90.9% of debtors owed up to 10,000 euros, totaling € 3.82 billion in total.
