Greece's Tax Success: A Model for the EU
Greece's Success in Reducing Tax Gap Sets EU Example Greece has achieved a significant reduction in its tax gap, a development praised by the European Union. This positive trend is attributed to reforms implemented by the Greek government, modernizing its tax administration and enhancing compliance. The success is seen as a model for other EU member states. European Commissioner for Taxation, Mr. Hoekstra, recently stated, "The closing of the tax gap is particularly important for increasing tax revenues fairly and sustainably." He emphasized the importance of all member states modernizing their tax administration to combat tax evasion and avoidance. The Greek government's efforts have not only improved tax collection but also contributed to the overall economic stability of the country. This success story serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration for other nations facing similar challenges.
