Grécia: lê-se e não se acredita

Absurd overtaxation: Low-incomers, unemployed taxed 3 times their income.

Isto é tão louco que li duas vezes para perceber! Fica um excerto, leia-se o texto na íntegra.

«Thousands of unemployed taxpayers with no income at all or very low one have been called to pay disproportionately high taxes between 2,000-4,500 euro. Why this? Blame the so-called deemed income criteria that calculate a fictitious tax according to living conditions and not real income.

The absurdity of this taxation measure goes back to an IMF inspired taxation law of 2013 according to which a taxpayer needs X amount per year in order to maintain a residence (whether owned or rented) and a car as wells as another X amount for personal needs incl food.»
