The draft, which must be approved by all three party leaders before it is submitted in Parliament next week, sets out less harsh increases to income tax than an earlier ministry proposal, according to Kathimerini.

According to the final tax bill it includes:

- Increase in the annual levy paid by self-employed professionals/freelancers and businesses from EUR 500 to 550 – 650 and from EUR 900 to 1,000 respectively.

- According to the plan, incomes of up to EUR 25,000 will be taxed at a rate of 21%, incomes between EUR 25,000 and 40,000 at 36% and incomes over EUR 40,000 at 40%.

- The income tax-free threshold of EUR 5,000 will be abolished and a EUR 1,950 reduction in taxes introduced for those earning up to EUR 18,000 per year. This reduction will be smaller for higher incomes, according to Kathimerini.

However, according to AMNA, the new tax system will raise the tax-exempt ceiling for wage earners and pensioners from EUR 5,000 to 9,000, with all taxpayers earning annually up to EUR 25,000 enjoying significant cuts in their tax burden.

- The government will also reportedly introduce a tax rate of 10% for income from leasings or rentals.

- Families with more than three children, the current annual tax break of EUR 528 per child will drop to EUR 450 per child, plus EUR 40-50 per month per child, as part of a government policy to support Greek families. It will also be the first time that families with one or two children will receive a tax break.

- The government also will raise a savings tax from 10% to 15. Finally, the corporate tax is expected to drop from 40% to 32.8%.
