[01] Outstanding tax debt at 71.5 bln in October
ANA-MPA -- The value of outstanding tax debt to the state increased by
1.22 billion euros to reach a total of 71.5 billion euros in October,
official data showed on Tuesday. In a report, the General Secretariat
for Public Revenues said that new outstanding debt (from January to
October 2014) totaled 10.906 billion euros, up from 9.683 billion euros
in September.
During that 10-month period, tax authorities collected 1.601 billion
euros in new overdue debt and 1.417 billion euros in old overdue debt
created prior to December 31, 2013.
The finance ministry is confident, however, that there will be a
mass response by tax-payers to the measure allowing the repayment of
overdue debts in 100 installments, which will help to significantly boost
revenues. The ministry said that 9,400 citizens and businesses had applied
for inclusion in the new debt settlement scheme via a new application
that was activated on the TAXISnet platform for the first time on Monday.
