The Greek government announced Thursday it is shutting down bars and nightclubs in Athens that are guilty of tax offenses. This is an effort to put more emphasis on revenue collection.
In what the Financial and Economic Crime Unit of the Ministry of Finance calls the “latest move to fight tax evasion,” new legislation is being used that allows for the immediate closure for a limited time of businesses that fail to offer receipts.
So far, six bars and clubs have been shut down as part of a broader sweep where two-thirds of all inspected businesses were fined.
