The taxpayers who had processed the Income Statement for the tax year 2025 by Friday, September 25, have risen to 167.100, Tax Commissioner Sotiris Markidis told KYPE, a number that corresponds to approximately 49% of the total processing of the Returns for the tax year 2024, by the deadline.
Specifically, Mr. Markides said that 144.800 have submitted their Return definitively, while 22.300 Income Declarations for the tax year 2025 are In Provisional Receipt. He stated that by the deadline for submitting the Income Statement of a Person without accounts for the tax year 2024, 342,600 Returns had been processed and 337,400 had been definitively submitted. "This year, the number of Declarations that will be submitted is expected to increase slightly due to the continuous expansion of the tax base," he noted.
The Tax Commissioner reminded that the deadline for the submission of the Return and the payment of taxes and contributions that may arise, without the imposition of any interest and charges, is October 31, 2026 and urged taxpayers who have either not yet submitted definitively or have not yet processed their Return, "to proceed as soon as possible with the processing and Final Submission of their Return and not to wait for the deadline". "We draw the attention of taxpayers that the Return must be submitted definitively (Final Submission). Declarations that are 'In Provisional Receipt' are not considered to have been received and are pending," he underlined.
He noted that the obligation to submit an Individual Income Statement for the tax year 2025 has Employees, Pensioners and Self-Employed Persons whose Gross Income for the year 2025 exceeds the amount of €19,500 (nineteen thousand five hundred euros). As in previous years, according to Mr. Markidis, the TAXISnet system, when completing the Declaration, automatically calculates the total amounts and transfers the relevant data to the "Tax Calculation" part, where the amount of income tax, GHS contributions and the Special Contribution for Defense is calculated. He added that immediately after the Final Submission of the Return, in the event that an amount of tax and/or contribution is due, the debt is automatically created on the Tax Portal and is required to be paid electronically by the deadline of October 31, 2026 without interest and charges.
Finally, the Tax Commissioner said that the late submission of the Personal Income Statement for the tax year 2025 carries a financial burden of €150 compared to the €100 brought by the late submission of returns of previous years, an increase, as he said, that occurred in the context of the tax reform. "The change in the financial burdens is aimed at increasing tax compliance," he concluded.
