[01] Amendment correcting ENFIA real estate tax assessment tabled in
Parliament
ANA-MPA - The Finance ministry tabled in Parliament an amendment with
corrections to the Uniform Real Estate Ownership Tax (ENFIA) late on
Tuesday, after having submitted drafts to the parties.
The amendment provides for up to 20 percent tax discount to vacant
buildings without electricity and tax reduction for buildings in
4,000 areas beyond town plans, for which last year's official property
assessment prices will be used.
The tax will be paid in six installments; the first will be due
end-September this year and the last one end-February 2015.
Also included in changes is a provision for owners under financial
difficulties who will be granted a 50 percent discount on the tax, after
taking into account the total value of their properties, which must not
exceed 85,000 euros for unmarried people, 150,000 euros in couples or
single parents with one underage child and 200,000 euros for couples or
single parents with two underage children or more.
Further provisions in the amendment excuse from the tax owners with
properties on the Ionian island of Cephallonia, and in the Fthiotis and
Fokida prefectures, for 2014, the year of destructive earthquakes. Also
excused from ENFIA taxation are buildings which have been termed historic
and protected or works of art.
