[01] Budget revenues sharply down in Q4 2014
ANA/MPA---Budget revenues fell sharply in the fourth quarter of 2014 to
21.862 billion euros, from 25.205 billion in the corresponding period
in 2013 and 25.544 billion euros in the same period in 2012, Hellenic
Statistical Authority said on Tuesday.
The statistics service, in a report, attributed this development to
an almost vertical drop in income and property tax revenues to 3.867
billion euros in the October-December period from 5.848 billion in 2013
and 6.311 billion in 2012 reflecting taxpayers' inability to meet their
heavy tax obligations.
Budget spending fell to 25.077 billion euros in the fourth quarter
of 2014, from 26.189 billion in 2013. Primary spending fell to 23.426
billion euros from 24.426 billion over the same periods, with social
benefits dropping to 9.752 billion euros from 10.029 billion. The
country's public debt totaled 317.094 billion euros at the end of 2014.
