[01] FinMin Stournaras promises 'fairer' real estate tax
ANA-MPA -- The unified real estate tax will be fairer than the previous
one because it will collect less from more taxpayers, Finance Minister
Yannis Stournaras said on Thursday, exiting a meeting chaired by Prime
Minister Antonis Samaras at Maximos Manion.
He added that taxes on farming land and land in agricultural areas will
be very low.
Stournaras rejected the possibility of new across-the-board measures being
introduced. Commenting on a recent IMF report claiming that Greece will
need more loans, he referred to the report's page 14, which said that
in developed countries the criterion used must be either the cyclical
deficit or surplus."
"Greece has a 4.5 percent primary surplus for 2013 and possibly over 6
percent in 2014," Stournaras noted. "It's self-evident there will be
no across-the-board measures," adding that the measures that will be
implemented will be infrastructural in nature.
