- Greece reduced its VAT gap to a historic low of 9% in 2024, down from 24% in 2019.
- This improvement saves the Greek state €2.7 billion annually and brings Greece near the EU average.
- The success is credited to digital tax system reforms, including electronic bookkeeping and linking cash registers to POS systems.
- Opposition parties support the revenue gains but call for broader tax relief, especially for small businesses.
