The government managed to exceed its tax revenue budget goal for April by about 15.2%, primarily due to the ‘100 installments’ settlement that was recently introduced and the payment of dividends towards the State.
About 100 million euros in tax revenue in April came from real estate owners, who had not paid the 2013 land tax that was collected via DEI (and predecessor to the controversial ENFIA tax).
The General Accounting Office is expected to publish its latest divs on the implementation of the budget in the January-to-April four-month period, according to which the government received about 3.7 billion euros in net revenue. Expenses in April were kept at about 2.5 billion euros.
Furthermore, tax returns for April amounted to about 150 million euros, while for the whole four-month period they approximated 1 billion euros.
