No Waves Over Super Yacht Tax in Greece
https://www.thenationalherald.com/263470/no-waves-over-super-yacht-tax-in-greece/

Nice to have my small, elderly yacht described as a 'super yacht'. I paid the Tepai tax this year for 5 months and happy to do so, since my costs are very low overall. However, I am disappointed by reactions from other yacht owners, who either did not know about the tax, or chose to ignore it. In fact a friend was told by several yacht owners in Lefkas that 'there is no need to pay this tax'. Despite me warning about a possible large fine, he decided not to pay it.

I will try to post my September readings soon, but initially it appears that the month was one of the hottest in Kefalonia.
