The Greek Government looks for to the desperate one to increase the public
revenues of the country. In the last years the companies have become the
reveille of the rulers, what is forcing to many businesses to toss the closing
or even to leave to countries like Bulgaria, Cyprus or Albania.
Such and like publishes The Economist,
the increase of the taxes and the economic recession they have been able to be
the cause of the closing or the march of some 200.000 companies. Between 2009
and 2014 the benefits of the Greek companies have collapsed. Not only for the
fall of the benefits, mainly for the closing of companies and the escape of
some 60,000 signatures looking for other countries with a less desperate fiscal
mark and with a more stable economy.
Some multinational companies also have I decide to abandon Athens. This is
the case of Fage International, a signature of milky products that in 2012 he
left of Greece when new ascents of taxes were approved to business. Coca Cola
has also abandoned the country, it transferred its headquarters from Athens
until the city Switzerland of Zug. Viohalco, a company that processes metals,
also decided to leave Greece and to establish its headquarters in Brussels at
the end of 2013.
The countries that are close geographically of Greece seem to be charmed
with this politics. Panagiotis Pantelis, a Greek accountant, assures that is
very busy meeting with officials of neighboring countries to help to Greek
companies in the steps to settle down those countries.
As they show the data of KPMG, in 2010 the Tax of Societies in Greece was
of 20%. In 2015 the Government of Syriza increment this tax until 29% from 26%
in which had left it in the previous Government. The Tax of Societies in Greece
is to day of today one of the highest from Europe, mainly if the type of 10%
effective is compared in the neighboring Bulgaria. It is evident that no
international company go to settle in non-alone Greece for the tax of societies
but because you see a country genuinely zombie without business without
consumption and without possibility some of confronting its debt
The collection of the Tax of Societies has collapsed in the last years.
Although the GDP of Greece has decreased considerably during the economic
crisis, the revenues for Societies regarding the GDP have also collapsed, what
allows to see that the collection of this tax (1,3% of the Greek GDP) he stays
in something testimonial.
For it doesn't find strange that Kyriakos Mitsotakis, new conservative
leader in Greece, be centering their speech in the counteractive effect of the
ascents of taxes on the economy of the country. However, the answer of the
coalition of lefts has been to propose a new increment the Tax of Societies
that will stop to the pensions.
Because this it is the other slope the Greek society it is in much worse
many cases that the economy of the refugees that they assault her day after day
escaping from a terrifying war and it is that Greece is in a much worse social
situation that if in Greece they don't kill them to shots or slashes, simply to
many Greeks they kill them of hunger, of cold, and of pain, it is an European
shame to have arrived until this situation and to continue in her worsening
more and more.
Now I have a doubt because I lack information to give an opinion in this
respect, but in spite of it, what I would advise to Greece that makes, is to be
left the Eurozone and of the UE as soon as possible, certainly to leave the
unpaid debt and to declare me in suspension of payments to create an own
foreign currency or to recover the Drachma and declare me neuter and not
aligned country. The Economist has
pointed out that, if the tendency is prolonged, soon they won't be business
opened up in Greece, the companies won't have benefits and the taxable fact
that marks the birth of a tributary obligation won't exist. That is to say,
without managerial benefits, the Tax of Societies will collect zero.
