"Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announced on Saturday his plans to lower the value added tax (VAT) and the property levy ENFIA as of 2021 and 2019 respectively in a speech at the 2018 Thessaloniki International Fair, aimed at signalling a new era for Greece after the end of the third bailout...
The government will pass a law by the end of the year gradually reducing the property levy ENFIA by up to 50 pct for lower-income households. The measure will be completed in two phases: the first in January 2019 and the second in January 2020".
