Antonis Mouzakis, a tax expert, spoke to “MEGA weekend” about the new measure.
“In the inclusion of revenues, I agree as well as the fact that through the crossings, any burden that should come should arise. The measure as it comes, the state will not collect the same in 2024. I am not in favor of this measure. I believe that the measure will not be crowned with success. The measure has logic”.
The data
Figures from 75,166 tax returns submitted by the self-employed and self-employed show the following:
- Almost 51% of professionals or 37,943 taxpayers fall within the income presumption. In other words, the taxable income they declared is lower than the minimum presumptive income as a result of which they are taxed based on the presumption and have to pay an additional amount of tax compared to the previous years that they declared as “poverty” income. .
- Professionals, despite the “raised” invoices, keep their distance from the AADE platform, where they have the possibility to dispute the supposed income either for objective reasons or by requesting a audit.
Conduct an audit
It is noted that self-employed people who believe that they are wrong about the minimum presumptive income have the possibility to request an audit by disclosing, however, detailed information on their income and property status as well as the expenses of livelihood.
In this context, they must fill out a questionnaire about their sources of income, bank accounts, debit, credit and prepaid cards, cryptocurrencies, foreign travel, school fees, cash and even spending on insurance premium, electricity, water and telephone.
