The caretaker Alternate Minister of Finances Tryfon Alexiadis has revealed that plans are being drafted for the introduction of counter-incentive measures for funds that are kept abroad and the purchase of assets outside Greece.
In his interview to the Naftemporiki newspaper, Mr. Alexiadis openly spoke of an expanded tax that would apply to real estate, bank deposits and investments overseas. The draft plan, which will be put forward to Greece’s creditors, will aim to replace – in part – the ENFIA tax in 2016. It is referred to as the “ENFIA of the exterior”.
According to the caretaker Alt. Minister, this tax will not only aim to generate up to 2.65 billion euros in revenue, but it is also intended to repatriate funds.
