New arrangement of 48 installments for debts to the tax office

For January 2019, the decisive government negotiations – "institutions" for the new debt settlement with respect to tax offices and funds, with the exception of settlements out of court.

According to the dominant scenario, this arrangement will provide for 48 doses, will also cover the debts due at the end of 2018, while will not be subject to the strict criteria defined by the 120 payments.

According to the relevant labor office staff, who are familiar with the contacts on both sides, that the postponement of decisions is due to two main reasons, apart from the constant objections of "institutions". These reasons relate to other major "spines", such as the imminent reversal of protection for the first home, and other priorities of the Ministry of Labor by the end of this year, namely the business circulars. implementation of the bill to reduce voted last week, the introduction of the abolition of the measure to reduce pensions to 18% in 2019.

But delaying the introduction of the new regulation does not mean "freezing" the exploration of a commonly accepted solution, not only of the government and "institutions", but especially of the self-employed, who are heavily indebted to insurers and the Independent Public Revenue Authority.

Everything else, while the government "burns" to check in practice the revised upward targets for revenue from tax and insurance revenues, as indicated by the final budget project of the government. State for 2019.

In addition, so far, a better history of regulatory receipts and receipts for debts to the Funds has reached a "limit", while does not stop the increase in the total volume of insurance debts. Thus, what the government is considering is a regulation with the characteristics of "100 doses".

In other words, will be an arrangement that almost all borrowers can join, without internal, property and other "narrow" criteria (for example, having 120 installments). According to the same sources, the objective is a direct positive "shock" on government revenue of the year, whether or not there is a certain slowdown, as is usually the case with regulation.

However, the new regulation under consideration will have fewer doses, with the most likely version providing 48 equal monthly payments. In this context all outstanding debts, no matter when they are "born". Thus, since the new regulation should apply from the beginning of 2019, even the debts that became due on 31/12/2018 could be included.
