Tax hikes failed to raise takings

The total figure for indirect and direct tax revenues last year showed a drop of 610.5 million euros (or 1.38 percent) compared to 2014 takings, even though nine tough tax measures worth a total of 1 billion euros were implemented during 2015. The new measures after July 2015 may have prevented the complete collapse of budget revenues, but have increased expired debts to the state.

How sad! What a waste of a life.
He was one of my favourite Greek Singers, so talented.
According to a Greek friend, Alcohol played a part with him driving too fast & losing control!
Off to plug my MP3 Player in now  & have a Pantelidis Day.
