Greece’s Ministry of National Economy and Finance published speaking points from Deputy Minister Giorgos Kotsiras to Parliament on the ministry’s draft tax reform bill, setting out a package of measures intended to reduce tax burdens across a broad base of taxpayers, with emphasis on families with children, younger workers and support for smaller communities. Key elements highlighted include linking the income tax rate to the number of children for the first time, a significant income tax reduction for workers up to age 30, and an exemption for self-employed new mothers from imputed income in the year of childbirth and for two years afterwards. The package also reduces presumptive living-expense assessments for homes and cars, exempts dependent children with their own income from the minimum objective expenditure of EUR 3,000, abolishes the ENFIA property tax in small settlements affecting more than 1 million residents, and provides relief for self-employed professionals operating in settlements of up to 1,500 inhabitants. Housing-related tax incentives are positioned as supporting an increase in available homes, with specific consideration for large families and public servants who rent, alongside a broader policy of refunding one month’s rent each November starting this year.
