In the past three years, Greece has uncovered approximately €6.5 billion from the shadow economy and reduced its VAT gap to 9%. The government anticipates collecting an additional €9.16 billion in supplementary fiscal revenues from 2024 to 2027, aided by extensive measures against the underground economy. The VAT gap has decreased significantly from 24% in 2019 to around 9% in 2024, aligning Greece with the EU average. Key reforms include the introduction of a minimum income for freelancers and strict sanctions against fuel commerce fraud. These efforts reflect a notable shift in Greece's fiscal discipline, previously marred by economic crises.
