Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that the "gradual, but fiscally sustainable tax reductions remain our central option.
These are made possible thanks to the increased revenues of the state, which we achieve both through the development of the economy - through the increase of the GDP and the reduction of the debt, two areas in which our country leads today in Europe - and through the reduction of tax evasion ", in his weekly review posted on the social media on Sunday.
“The evidence on reducing this socially unjust practice, with which we are at constant war, shows that we have made significant progress. This was also made possible thanks to the new operating mode of the Independent Authority for Public Revenue, which utilises modern digital tools, such as myData and the connection of cash registers with POS", the prime minister explained.
He also said that the new tax bill presented at the recent Cabinet meeting includes 12 significant tax reliefs for households and enterprises in 2025.
Mitsotakis also underlined that "the good course of the economy and the increase in public revenues from the reduction of tax evasion enlarges the scope of our social policy. Because that is where we direct and will direct the dividend of growth and surpluses".
On issues of juvenile deliquency, the prime minister said that the Greek police continues its targeted actions to prevent, deter and deal with juvenile delinquency and violence among minors - a complex problem that requires a multi-level approach.
He also referred to the establishment of a Higher School of Performing Arts: "I had personally committed in the meeting I had with the representatives of Greek artists that a Higher School of Performing Arts would be established in Greece - admittedly with an inexplicable delay." The relevant bill, which emerged after a dialogue between representatives of all the bodies involved, was presented to the Cabinet and is being forwarded for public consultation.
