Tax Evasion: Justified and 'Ethical' in Greece?

In Greece, tax evasion is considered by many to be justified due to excessive taxes and a lack of return from the state. This is argued in an article by Gr. Nikopoulos.

Excessive Taxes: The article states that high taxes discourage salaried employment, leading young people to undeclared jobs. Also, businesses face high costs and obligations.

Lack of Reciprocity: Citizens feel that they do not receive adequate services from the state in relation to the taxes they pay. Examples include public education and health, where citizens are often forced to resort to the private sector.

Corruption and Bureaucracy: Corruption and bureaucracy exacerbate the situation, absorbing resources from citizens and businesses.

The article concludes that tax evasion is a necessary outlet for Greeks, due to the lack of political will for change.
