At 1,522 euros the average tax on debit clearances
Last day today, April 30th for the submission of tax returns by taxpayers who are going to receive a debit clearance and want to prevent a 4%deduction, paying the additional tax- or in installments- by 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, with the “package” of the pre -filled and subsequently found errors or omissions. If they want the 4%discount, they must make the necessary corrections today by submitting an amending statement.
From tomorrow, May 1 and until June 15, the 3%discount will apply, provided they submit their declaration (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 2,993,859 tax returns have been submitted so far, a pace 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.
Tax refunds to taxpayers without tax or insurance debts or free of charge are sent to the Bank of Greece for immediate return on a weekly basis.
In terms of tax refunds to taxpayers without tax information or debts, offsettings are centrally on a weekly basis. Those offsetting cannot be carried out centrally, are processed in the shortest possible time by the DOUs, without 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, another 169.847 (26.12%) received EUR 47.1 million, after set -offs, while 4,854 (0.75%) received approximately EUR 5 million from the DOU after offsetting.
It is worth noting that debts from income tax will be offset by priority with refund rights, which exist or will be resulted by July 31, so that in the event of the repayment of income tax through offsetting, the taxpayer will not be lost for the taxpayer.
