Aada (Ανεη complaently of the tax αρχή δημοσίων εσόδων, the independent body of state revenues) until the end of 2025 classifies additionally 10 billion euros expired tax debts as not to be collected.
These debts are listed in the list of private individuals to the state, distorting the real picture and preventing the Ministry of Finance from focusing on the collection of debts, reports ErtNews. We are talking about matters that have been drawn for decades without the real possibility of recovery. They relate to:
- Businessed enterprises.
- Dead without heirs.
- Individuals without property.
From the total amount of expired obligations 108.4 billion euros already 26.3 billion euros recognized as not subject to collection. According to Cede (Κώδικας είσπραript δημοσίων εσόδων, the code for the recovery of state revenues), the debt is classified as not subject to recovery if:
- All methods of finding the property of the debtor and co -employees have been exhausted.
- There were no property or requirements for third parties.
- An application for criminal prosecution (if necessary) was filed.
- The objective impossibility of recovery has been established.
Even if there is property, the debt remains not to be collected if its cost is less 5% of the debt amount and does not exceed 100,000 euros for real estate or 30,000 euros for movable property.
The procedure for classifying debts
To include the debt in the register of non -recovery, administrative actions are required depending on the amount:
- To 300,000 euros: The decision of the leader DOW (ΔουTax inspectorate) or customs service.
- From 300,000 to 3 million euros: Decision of the head of AADA on the recommendation of managers.
- Over 3 million euros: Decision of the head of Aada on the recommendation of the operational department of recovery.
Classification consequences
Classification as not subject to recovery does not mean debiting of the debt. For 10 years The state retains the right to track the debtor. If property appears, the debt can be activated for recovery, for example, when selling real estate or identifying income, through confiscation or test. After the classification:
- The limitation period is suspended.
