ATHENS –
The operator of a cafeteria on the Greek island of Lefkada was Friday so evil in an audit by the Greek tax authorities that he had two inspectors overgoot with pannenkoekbeslag. That said the head of the tax office, Giorgos Pitsilis, Saturday on the Greek radio.
The cafeteria operator, which has already been arrested, wanted to use his action to protest against the, in his eyes unwavering audits by the tax authorities. “There are people who believe that they can get away with name-calling, tapped and other attacks,” said Pitsilis. “We will not be intimidated”, he added.
The Greek government tries to control the belastingmoraal of citizens and businesses to improve. Especially the cheating with the vat payment by the entrepreneurs in the Southern European country is a widespread practice. German scientists think that the size of the shadow economy of Greece more than one fifth of the gross domestic product of the country is.
