1 March 2018 Tax Alert Greece amends tax penalties and interest on overdue payments Recently, Greece has made several amendments to its tax penalty and interest regime with respect to overdue payments. This Alert summarizes the framework for the imposition of tax penalties and interest on overdue payments for the filing of late or inaccurate tax returns as well as for the failure to file a tax return. The framework has been established by the enactment of Laws 4509/ and 4512/ as amended by Law 4520/ and are now in force. I. Tax years, periods, cases or tax obligations in general up to 31 December 2013 I.1. Filing of late tax returns Penalties for procedural violations of article (art.) 54 of the Greek Tax Procedure s Code (L. 4174/2013 GTPC) plus late payment interest as provided in art. 53 GTPC are applicable, instead of the surcharge of art. 1 of L. 2523/1997, under the condition that the former are more favorable to the taxpayer, as follows:
2 Late filing of original or amending tax returns submitted up to the notification of the tax audit order to the taxpayer for tax years, periods, cases or tax obligations in general up to 31 December 2013 Tax L. 2523/1997 L. 4174/2013 (except for Value Added Tax (VAT) & withholding tax (WHT) and rolled over to consumption taxes) 1% surcharge imposed on the main per month of delay Up to 60% of the main Penalty of art. 54: 100, if the taxpayer is not liable for maintaining accounting books 250, if the taxpayer is liable for maintaining single-entry books 500, if the taxpayer is liable for maintaining double-entry books VAT, WHT and rolled over to consumption taxes 1.5% surcharge imposed on the main per month of delay Up to 60% of the main Penalty of art. 54*: 100, if the taxpayer is not liable for maintaining accounting books 250, if the taxpayer is liable for maintaining single-entry books 500, if the taxpayer is liable for maintaining double-entry books threshold, calculated as of 1 January2014 * The penalty of art. 54 is not imposed, in the case of filing of a late amending VAT or withholding tax return, provided that the original return was submitted within the statutory deadline. Based on the provisions previously applicable (as of 17 January 2018), the filing of a late tax return following the issuance of the tax audit order was not allowed. As of 1 January 2018, the more favorable penalty regime is applied. The penalty of art. 54 of L. 4174/2013 is subject to (at the rate of 2.4%) upon its payment. 2 Tax Alert March 2018
3 Late filing of original or amending tax returns submitted as of the notification of the tax audit order to the taxpayer up to the notification of the provisional corrective tax assessment note to the taxpayer for tax years, periods, cases or tax obligations in general up to 31 December 2013 Tax L. 2523/1997 L. 4174/2013 (except for VAT & WHT and rolled over to consumption taxes) 1% surcharge imposed on the main per month of delay Up to 60% of the main 10% on the main tax difference, if the difference ranges between 5% - 20% of the tax resulting from the late tax return 25% on the main tax difference, if the difference exceeds 20% up to 50% of the tax resulting from the late tax return, if the difference exceeds 50% of the tax resulting from the late tax return VAT, WHT and rolled over to consumption taxes 1.5% surcharge imposed on the main per month of delay Up to 60% of the main Withholding taxes: Penalty of art. 59 * The penalty of art. 58 is imposed on taxes rolled over to consumption Based on the provisions previously applicable (as of 17 January 2018), the filing of a late tax return following the issuance of the tax audit order was not allowed. As of 1 January 2018, the more favorable penalty regime is applied. Tax returns filed after the notification of the tax audit order to the taxpayer cannot be submitted with reservation. The penalty and late payment interest imposed on late tax returns submitted as of 17 January 2018 are reduced to 60%, provided that the tax debt is paid within 30 days from the assessment. The 60% reduction is not applicable to salary withholding tax returns. 3 Tax Alert March 2018
4 I.2. Filing of inaccurate tax returns and non-filing of tax returns The penalties of arts. 58, 58A par. 2 or 59 of the GTPC plus late payment interest as provided in art. 53 GTPC are applicable, instead of the surcharge of art. 1 of L. 2523/1997, under the condition that the former are more favorable to the taxpayer, as follows: Corrective tax assessment notes for the filing of inaccurate tax returns issued as of 1 January 2018 for tax years, periods, cases or tax obligations in general up to 31 December 2013 Tax L. 2523/1997 L. 4174/2013 (except for VAT & WHT and rolled over to consumption taxes) 2% surcharge imposed on the main per month of delay Up to 120% of the main 10% on the main tax difference, if the difference ranges between 5% - 20% of the tax resulting from the late tax return 25% on the main tax difference, if the difference exceeds 20% up to 50% of the tax resulting from the late tax return, if the difference exceeds 50% of the tax resulting from the late tax return VAT, WHT and rolled over to consumption taxes 3% surcharge on the main per month of delay Up to 120% of the main WHT: Penalty of art. 59 * The penalty of art. 58 is imposed on taxes rolled over to consumption 4 Tax Alert March 2018
5 Corrective tax assessment notes for the non-filing of tax returns issued as of 1 January 2018 for tax years, periods, cases or tax obligations in general up to 31 December 2013 Tax L. 2523/1997 L. 4174/2013 (except for VAT & WHT and rolled over to consumption taxes) 2.5% surcharge imposed on the main per month of delay Up to 120% of the main 50% on the main tax corresponding to the tax return not submitted imposed on the main tax corresponding to the tax return not submitted, with no upper VAT, WHT and rolled over to consumption taxes 3.5% surcharge on the main per month of delay Up to 120% of the main 50% on the main tax corresponding to the tax return not submitted WHTs: Penalty of art % on the main tax corresponding to the tax return not submitted imposed on the main tax corresponding to the tax return not filed, with no upper threshold, calculated as of 1 January 2014 * The penalty of art. 58 is imposed on taxes rolled over to consumption I.3. Pending cases as of 1 January 2018 The more favorable penalty regime is also applicable for pending cases as of 1 January Pending cases include all cases pending before the Dispute Resolution Directorate, the Administrative Courts and the Supreme Administrative Court (Council of State), following the filing of an administrative or judicial appeal or the cases for which the deadline for the aforementioned filing has not elapsed yet, as well as the cases for which the respective assessments or decisions have been issued but have not been yet notified to the taxpayer and the cases for which a hearing before the Court has taken place but the latter has not yet delivered an irrevocable decision or a non-irrevocable decision has been delivered but has not been yet notified to the taxpayer by 1January These provisions are also applicable in cases that the taxpayer does not elect to continue legally pursuing the case, provided that the taxpayer shall proceed with the submission before the Head of the competent Authority which issued the relevant note or decision of an irrevocable declaration of unconditional acceptance of the corrective tax assessment note or the decision of the Dispute Resolution Authority or the Court. Surcharges paid after 1 January 2018 that were assessed without applying the more favorable regime for the taxpayer are refundable or offsetable (Circular POL. 1019/ ). In contrast, surcharges paid prior to the entry into force of the more favorable provisions, i.e., prior to 1 January 2018, shall not be refundable or offsetable (L. 4520/2018). It appears that the non-refundability of amounts paid prior to 1 January 2018 also applies to cases that were pending on this date, given that the crucial element is the time that the payment was made rather than the (pending) status of the case. Questions arise on the manner that certain pending cases will be dealt with, for which the tax debt was only partially paid before 1 January 2018, as well as on the manner that certain non-pending cases for which an installment payment scheme is applicable within 1 January 2018 will be dealt with. 5 Tax Alert March 2018
6 I.4. Pending cases as of 17 January 2018 For pending cases as of 17 January 2018, the penalty and late payment interest imposed can be reduced to 60%, provided that the tax debt is paid within 30 days from the notification of the corrective tax assessment note to the taxpayer and the taxpayer submits an irrevocable declaration of unconditional acceptance of the corrective tax assessment note. Pending cases are the cases pending before the Dispute Resolution Directorate, the Administrative Courts and the Supreme Administrative Court (Council of State), following the filing of an administrative or judicial appeal or the cases for which the deadline for the aforementioned filing has not elapsed yet, as well as the cases for which a hearing before the Court has taken place but the latter has not yet delivered an irrevocable decision or a non-irrevocable decision has been delivered but has not been yet notified to the taxpayer by 17 January The reduction of penalty plus interest to 60% is also applicable if: A corrective tax assessment note has been issued but has not been notified to the taxpayer up to and including 17January 2018, or A corrective tax assessment note will be issued following the notification of the provisional tax assessment note conducted up to 17 January The reduction is applicable provided that the taxpayer accepts the corrective tax assessment by virtue of a final and irrevocable declaration and the tax debt is paid within 30 days from the notification of the corrective tax assessment note to the taxpayer. Surcharges/penalties paid after 17 January 2018 that were assessed without applying the reduction of penalties to 60% are refundable or offsetable (Circular POL. 1019/ ). In contrast, surcharges/ penalties already paid before being eligible to reduction, i.e., prior to 17 January 2018, shall not be refundable or offsetable (L. 4520/2018). It appears that the non-refundability of amounts paid prior to 17 January 2018 also applies to cases that were pending on this date, given that the crucial element is the time that the payment was made rather than the (pending) status of the case. Questions arise on the manner that certain pending cases will be dealt with, for which the tax debt was only partially paid before 17January Despite the fact that L. 4174/2013 has undergone several amendments, the exact time of entry into force of its provisions regarding the imposition of penalties and late payment interest remains unclear. In more detail, it is still not clear whether the tax year, period and tax obligation are the crucial points in time for the determination of the applicability of penalties and interest of L. 4174/2013 or whether this crucial time corresponds to the time that the tax violation has been committed. 6 Tax Alert March 2018
7 II. Tax years, periods, cases or tax obligations in general from 01 January 2014 onwards II.1. Filing of late original or amending tax returns Late filing of original or amending tax returns submitted up to the notification of the tax audit order to the taxpayer for tax years, periods, cases or tax obligations in general as of 1 January 2014 Tax L. 4174/2013 (except for VAT and WHT) Penalty of art. 54: 100, if the taxpayer is not liable for maintaining accounting books 250, if the taxpayer is liable for maintaining single-entry books 500, if the taxpayer is liable for maintaining double-entry books imposed on the main, with no upper threshold VAT and WHT Penalty of art. 54*: 100, if the taxpayer is not liable for maintaining accounting books 250, if the taxpayer is liable for maintaining single-entry books 500, if the taxpayer is liable for maintaining double-entry books imposed on the main, with no upper threshold * The penalty of art. 54 is not imposed, in the case of filing of a late amending VAT or withholding tax return, provided that the original return was submitted within the statutory deadline The penalty of art. 54 of L. 4174/2013 is subject to (at the rate of 2.4%) upon its payment. 7 Tax Alert March 2018
8 Late filing of original or amending tax returns submitted as of the notification of the tax audit order to the taxpayer up to the notification of the provisional corrective tax assessment note to the taxpayer for tax years, periods, cases or tax obligations in general as of 1 January 2014 Tax L. 4174/2013 (except for VAT and WHT) 10% on the main tax difference, if the difference ranges between 5% - 20% of the tax resulting from the late (overdue) tax return 25% on the main tax difference, if the difference exceeds 20% up to 50% of the tax resulting from the late tax return, if the difference exceeds 50% of the tax resulting from the late tax return imposed on the main, with no upper threshold VAT and WHT 50% on the tax difference WHT: Penalty of art % on the tax difference imposed on the main, with no upper threshold Based on the provisions previously applicable (as of 17 January 2018), the filing of a late tax return following the issuance of the tax audit order was not allowed. The penalty imposed on late tax returns filed as of 17 January 2018 is reduced to 60%, provided that the tax debt is paid within 30 days from the assessment. It appears, based on the wording of these provisions, that for tax years, periods, cases or tax obligations in general up to 31 December 2013, the reduction to 60% also includes the late payment interest of art. 53 of GTPC imposed, whereas, for tax years, periods, cases or tax obligations in general as of 1 January 2014, the reduction to 60% only applies to the penalties imposed under arts. 58, 58A and 59 of the GTPC. The 60% reduction is not applicable to salary withholding tax returns. Tax returns filed after the notification of the tax audit order cannot be filed with reservation. 8 Tax Alert March 2018

10 II.3. Pending cases as of 17 January 2018 For pending cases as of 17 January 2018, the abovementioned penalty imposed can be reduced to 60%, provided that the taxpayer submits an irrevocable declaration of unconditional acceptance of the corrective tax assessment note and the tax debt is paid within 30 days from the notification of the corrective tax assessment note to the taxpayer. Pending cases are the cases pending before the Dispute Resolution Directorate, the Administrative Courts and the Supreme Administrative Court (Council of State), following the filing of an administrative or judicial appeal or the cases for which the deadline for the aforementioned filing has not elapsed yet, as well as the cases for which a hearing before the Court has taken place but the latter have not yet delivered an irrevocable decision or a nonirrevocable decision has been delivered but has not been yet notified to the taxpayer by 17 January The reduction of penalty to 60% is also applicable if: - A corrective tax assessment note has been issued but has not been notified to the taxpayer up to and including 17 January2018, or - A corrective tax assessment note will be issued following the notification of the provisional tax assessment note conducted up to 17 January The reduction is applicable provided that the taxpayer accepts the corrective tax assessment by virtue of a final and irrevocable declaration and the tax debt is paid within 30 days from the notification of the corrective tax assessment note to the taxpayer. Penalties paid after 17 January 2018 that were assessed without applying the reduction of penalties to 60% are refundable or offsetable (Circular POL. 1019/ ). In contrast, penalties already paid before being eligible to reduction, i.e. prior to 17 January 2018, shall not be refundable or offsetable (L. 4520/2018). It appears that the non-refundability of amounts paid prior to 17 January 2018 also applies to cases that were pending on this date, given that the crucial element is the time that the payment was made rather than the (pending) status of the case. Questions arise on the manner that certain pending cases will be dealt with, for which the tax debt was only partially paid before 17 January ΕΥ Assurance Tax Transactions Advisory About EY EY is a global leader in assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services.
