Platform opens for ENFIA tax payment
The Single Property Tax (ENFIA) pay slips for approximately 7.3 million property and business owners have been posted on the myAADE digital portal for the financial year 2024.
This year’s ENFIA dues are to be paid in up to 11 installments, with the first installment due on April 30 and the final installment set to be paid by February 28, 2025.
Overall, the rates are expected to remain the same as last year’s. Property owners who had their properties insured for natural disasters (earthquakes, fires, and floods) last year will pay less tax, while those who acquired properties in 2023 will pay more tax.
Property owners who identify errors or omissions in their pay statements have the opportunity to correct them by submitting an amending E9 declaration. This platform is scheduled to open in the next few days. https://www.ekathimerini.com/economy/1235867/platform-opens-for-enfia-tax-payment/

Greece raises wildfire alert amid early blazes
Greece on Sunday raised the wildfire alert level for several regions to "high risk" — the second-highest — after more than 70 forest fires were reported across the country on Saturday.
Although most were brought under control, one on the island of Crete was still burning on Sunday, the fire department said, adding that three people had been lightly injured in the blaze.
The raised alert comes as strong winds of up to 60 kph (37 mph) are expected until Tuesday in parts of Greece. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/europe/greece-raises-wildfire-alert-amid-early-blazes/articleshow/109125548.cms

Greece Offers Tax Cheats 50% Penalties Discounts, 10-Year Payment Plans
ATHENS – Trying again to reduce evasion with tax rates up to 45 percent making it difficult – or impossible in some cases – to pay obligations to the state, Greece’s New Democracy will cut in half how much must be paid, only for fines and surcharges.
That’s aimed at providing an incentive although the full amount for the debt must be covered, which could keep debtors owing huge amounts away from the scheme unless amnesty is brought.
Many of Greece’s rich evade taxes by putting their wealth into secret foreign bank accounts while even professionals such as doctors and lawyers declare incomes under 10,000 euros ($10,839) annually to escape rates among the European Union’s highest. https://www.thenationalherald.com/greece-offers-tax-cheats-50-penalties-discounts-10-year-payment-plans/

Mom cooks ‘beautiful’ family dinner — but discovers major error with her olive oil that ruins meal: ‘She’s so angry’
A delicious-looking meal a mother tirelessly crafted for her family was ruined after she mistakenly used one ingredient that spoiled the entire dish — shower gel.
Though the chicken dish sizzling on the stovetop in a creamy yellow sauce with cherry tomatoes appeared eatable at first glance — Jane grabbed a bottle of “Pure Greek Olive” that her mother used to whip up the homemade meal.
“Only after she finished, did we discover that it’s — shower gel,” Jane shared.
What her mother thought was normal olive oil turned out to be a $19 bottle of Korres Pure Greek Olive Oil scented shower gel. https://nypost.com/2024/04/06/lifestyle/tiktok-shows-moms-beautiful-family-dinner-ruined-over-an-olive-oil-mixup/
