Thessaloniki International Fair Package: Tax, Imputation, and Property Changes

The government is preparing a package of measures for the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), with an emphasis on easing the burden on the middle class and maintaining fiscal stability. The package is expected to be finalized in late August.

The focus is on changes to the tax scale, with the aim of reducing the tax burden for middle-class taxpayers. The addition of an intermediate tax rate for incomes from 10,001 to 20,000 euros is being considered, as well as increasing the income above which the highest tax rate is applied.

In addition, new tax incentives are being promoted for families with children, with an adjustment of the tax-free amount depending on the number of children. Measures to reduce living expense imputations and insurance contributions are also on the table.

Interventions are planned for pensioners, as well as income support for the Security Forces. Measures are also being promoted to address the housing crisis, such as reducing taxes on income from rents.
