SYRIZA Criticizes ENFIA
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Renewing his criticism of the Uniform Real Estate Ownership Tax (ENFIA), main opposition SYRIZA spokesman Panos Skourletis on Wednesday said the crucial issue was to end the government's programme and "abolish it in practice".
"You cannot, in the current Greek reality, talk about such a levelling tax on real estate. Greece has the characteristic of extensive home ownership and this is something that clearly irritates the 'masterminds' within the troika, so that after devaluing wages, incomes and businesses they are now attacking where they think there is fat," Skourletis said while speaking on the radio station 'Vima FM'.
Regarding the announcements that will be made by SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras at the 79th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF) in September, the spokesman said that these would mainly present the party's basic directions.
"First of all, we consider it necessary to restore the tax-free allowance for incomes up to 12,000 euros. Secondly, primary residences must be exempted, up to a certain value, from any kind of tax, in the sense that they meet fundamental housing needs."
