Mr. Theoharis characteristically pointed out that “In no case are we legislating a procedure to revive the regulations. Rather, it is a process that will allow management to “kill” regulations that need to “die.” That is, we rationalize the system, so that there is not a single fellow citizen who complains that, for example, “I had given some money, but it was not taken into account in the regulation”. This is precisely why a legal and technical improvement is imminent in the new Tax Procedure Code (TPC), so that a regular deadline is set for settling debt arrangements. The deadline, as it is mentioned in article 87 of the new bill for the reform of the KFD, is extended until April 29. I emphasize that A.A.D.E. fulfills its debt in full, as its mission is not to oppress citizens. The mission of A.A.D.E. is to inform taxpayers, to urge them to exercise their right to settle debts – provided, of course, they have that right”.
In his intervention before the Economic Affairs Committee of the Parliament and in the context of the debate on the new bill of the Ministry of National Economy and Finance for the Code of Tax Procedure, Mr. Haris Theocharis developed the positions of the Government on a number of issues of his special competence and mainly on issues of implementation of tax policy reforms.
As far as the fines are concerned, the Deputy Minister of National Economy and Finance emphasized that “Currently we will not proceed with the imposition of fines for the delay in connecting to the myData platform. Certainly, however, we have activated (and if you want this is my personal strategy, which we agreed with the AADE and is already being implemented) the so-called “locking”, as an alternative option, instead of fines. However, the prescribed fines will be imposed normally and as prescribed by law, when the compliance of those liable to connect to myData will have spread, in which case the fines will concern, in fact, very few. However, myData is a great success, with huge participation.”
Mr. Theocharis also referred to the issue of the suspension of the Tax Registry Number in cases of smuggling. As the Deputy Minister said, “Until now, if someone is accused or convicted of smuggling, his TIN remained in operation, since the Tax Procedure Code as it stood did not provide for suspension of the TIN. However, we are coming here today to take advantage of the framework, so that following the two years of closing the gas station and inability of the taxable businessman to operate, we can suspend his tax identification number for reasons of smuggling. We extend this suspension until trial. And in addition until the sentence is served, if a conviction results. Therefore, have no doubt, dear colleagues, we are making the framework more stringent – and anyone who does not vote for it, is voting in favor of maintaining the flexible framework.”
Finally, summarizing the general nature of the N/S for the reform of the Tax Code, Mr. Haris Theocharis made the following comment: “The essence, force and importance of the new bill for the Tax Procedure Code, among others, was shown by the fact that the opposition was unable to counter his very positive provisions. Because we have tightening where necessary, simplification where necessary, and of course the promotion of digitization, so that all procedures are more efficient, for the benefit of the citizen”.
