Those who declare between 20,000 to 50,000 euros will be the main winners of the permanent reinforcement package of the available income which is expected to be announced by the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, from her step TIF.
This was stated today (20.8.25) on SKAI television, in relation to the TIF, the spokesman for the Ministry of National Economy and Finance, Homer Tsapalos. In particular, he said that “it is that social/economic category, households that declare income between 20,000 and 50,000 euros, which have lifted the largest part of both the memorandums and the recovery of the Greek economy. It is time for these people to be rewarded in a permanent and fair way. “
The press spokesman said that “the basis of the financial package of the reforms that the prime minister will announce to the TIF will be 1.5 billion euros,” he pointed out. “From then on, the execution of the budget is evolving to a satisfactory degree. The Front of Fighting Tax evasion is going well, because and from there I remind we expect money to be able to give taxes to the TIF as a permanent tax cut, as well as the primary surplus is going well. “
“There is no logic of benefit support, it does not belong to this government. It had been applied to some extent during the Covid period, as well as throughout Europe, precisely to support emergency specific social groups and the whole of the Greek population. But this is not the rule. The rule is to find ways of budgetary right, without risking the country’s fiscal course, for permanent tax cuts and income boosting income. “
Asked about the tax scale, he stressed that “pricing is a policy that will lead to serious fiscal risk. The budget burden will be disproportionately high compared to what the budget can support. On the other hand, there will be things that the citizen will really see in his pocket as a significant reinforcement. “
“There have been dozens of ideas on the table,” he continued. “Some of them have a priority in their examination. One of them can tell you is the changes in direct tax scales rather than VAT. Why on direct tax scales? Because if the changes are announced, the employee and retiree automatically from next month can see an increase in his income, because tax withholding will be reduced. “
“This is what the citizen prefers to see a VAT reduction, which may not reach the final consumer and have an intermediate intermediate, intermediate.”
