[01] Government aims to raise 2.65 bln euros from this year's property tax
The unified property tax (ENFIA), which will be paid by 7 million
citizens, will start being posted on the online TAXIS platform on August
29, it was announced on Wednesday.
The government hopes to raise 2.65 billion euros in revenues, same as
in 2015, as the so-called "objective values" of properties were lowered
this year and farmland has been excluded from the tax. Taxpayers will
pay ENFIA in five installments with the first due at the end of September
and the last set for January 2017.
