Response to “Estia” newspaper: Reduced VAT regulation for asylum seekers’ islands in effect for years

• The reduced VAT regulation for islands hosting asylum seekers has been in effect for several years
• The Ministry of National Economy’s bill being discussed in Parliament is about VAT codification, not adding new regulations
• The provision for reduced VAT on islands hosting asylum seekers is not new, but has been in place for several years
• The newspaper is urged to investigate the matter before making it a headline
• Another attack by the newspaper against Minister of National Economy and Finance Kostis Hatzidakis may not be more important than the truth
