Greece to Pay Citizens €3,000 for Reporting Tax EvasionGreece’s Ministry of Finance has announced an initiative to offer citizens a bonus of up to 3,000 euros for reporting instances of tax evasion. The incentive is part of a broader movement in strengthening tax compliance and transparency in the country’s financial system.To ease the reporting process, the Independent Directorate of Revenue (AADE) previously introduced a mobile app called “appodixi” that allows users to scan QR codes on receipts to identify potential cases of tax evasion. Since its release, the application has seen over 235,000 downloads, with users filing a total of 135,000 complaints, according to AADE.In addition to the appodixi app, the Greek Ministry of National Economy and Finance, together with AADE, launched a citizen complaints platform accessible through the myAADE digital portal. This platform allows users to submit complaints and information related to corruption, tax, and customs violations.
Car rentals heading for an all-time highShort- and long-term car rentals are projected to record their best ever performance in Greece this year.The industry could only benefit from the significant increase in tourism arrivals, the rise in car registrations and the continued demand also from individuals for long-term rental services (leasing).As a result, the car rental market has grown not only compared to 2022, but also compared to 2019, a record year.According to expert estimates, this year around 30,000-35,000 new vehicles were added to the ‘rent-a-car’ market, compressing rental rates, which, however, remain at higher levels compared to the period before the pandemic.
