The Minister of National Economy and Finance Kostis Hatzidakis ruled out any possibility of extending the interconnection of cash registers with POS, speaking yesterday at the international conference, Future of Retail 2024, of the Hellenic Confederation of Commerce and Entrepreneurship (ESEE).
“Don’t believe any rumor, there is not one in a trillion cases that an extension will be granted”, noted Mr. Hatzidakis, underlining that the completion of this emblematic project “is primarily a matter of tax justice and an important tool in dealing with tax evasion”.
In addition, he recalled that:
– Already today, half of the businesses have made the interconnection, while based on the appointments scheduled until the end of April, 90% of the interconnections will have been completed. “So what are we going to do? Shall we say to 90% you are the clowns of the case and 10% will be the smart ones who will smile at the health of the clowns? You want it; I can’t imagine we want 90% paying and 10% not paying. It is not fair in terms of competition between businesses,” he said.
– It is a milestone in the Recovery and Resilience Fund. As Mr. Hatzidakis explained, “this means that if the project is not completed on time, the country’s funding from Brussels will be partially interrupted. And we can’t stand that.”
