Tax Changes: Income Criteria and New Deductions

Economist Tasos Yiasemidis outlined the new tax deductions and income criteria that taxpayers need to be aware of. There are three main categories of additional deductions: for dependent children, for interest or housing rent, and for green investments (electric cars, homes). Taxpayers must assess their total income based on the number of children and choose the deductions that apply to them. New deductions include fire insurance for homes (up to 500 euros) and various others, grouped for data protection reasons. For interest deduction, the loan must be serviced or the new restructuring agreement must be followed. Spousal consent for the exchange of tax information is essential to claim the deductions. Green investments and electric vehicles will be eligible for tax breaks from 2026, with the possibility of deducting 1,000 euros annually for four years, provided income criteria are met. The relevant forms have been sent to employees and must be completed correctly.
