Today Wednesday (30.4.2025) expires the deadline for the submission of tax returns by taxpayers who are going to receive a debit clearance and wish to catch up discount 4%, paying tax – either one -off or in installments – until July 31.
The same is true for those who have already submitted their statement – either themselves or the Independent Public Revenue Authority (AADE) last Friday (25.4.2025) with the “package” of pre -filled tax returns – and subsequently found errors or omissions. If they want the 4% discount they should make the necessary corrections today by submitting an amending statement.
From tomorrow and until June 15, the 3%discount will apply, provided they submit their statement (initial or amending) within that period. Tax returns to be made between June 16 and July 15 are a 2%deduction, but if they pay the tax until July 31.
The AADE data shows that they have been submitted so far 2.993.859 tax returnsrhythm is particularly satisfactory as traditional extensions have ended this year.
- 45.86% (1,372,983 statements) are zero
- 28.65% (857,740 returns) are debit and have already been confirmed by € 1.33 billion. The average tax they are required to pay is 1,552 euros.
- 25.49 % of statements (763,134 statements) have a credit clearance with the average tax refund of 289 euros.
The tax refunds to taxpayers with no tax or insurance debts or information freezing, sent to the Bank of Greece for immediate return on a weekly basis.
In terms of Tax refunds to taxpayers without tax information or with debtsoffsettings are centrally on a weekly basis. Those offsetting that cannot be carried out centrally, processed in the shortest possible time by DOUwithout the taxpayer having to submit any tax return request.
Based on this practice, 94.80% ie 616.549 beneficiaries have already received their money (EUR 151.6 million). The 441.848 (67.94%) immediately received EUR 99.5 million, others 169.847 (26.12%) received EUR 47.1 million after set -offs, while 4,854 (0.75%) received approximately EUR 5 million from the DOE after set -offs.
It should be noted that the income tax debts will be offset as priority with refund rights, which exist or will arise until July 31, so that in the event of a tax tax redemption, the taxpayer will not be lost for the taxpayer.
