  • Greek tax authorities fined a car rental company 1.32 million euros.
  • The company allegedly rented out cars that were declared as immobilized.

Greek tax authorities have imposed a substantial fine of 1.32 million euros on a car rental company for allegedly renting out vehicles that had been officially declared as immobilized. The Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) announced the penalty as part of its ongoing efforts to combat tax evasion and ensure compliance within the rental sector.

Sources indicate that the company continued to rent out these vehicles, bypassing regulations and potentially defrauding the state. The AADE's investigation revealed discrepancies between the declared status of the vehicles and their actual use in rental operations.

This action underscores the AADE's commitment to rigorous oversight of the business sector. The authority stated that it is not only focusing on this specific company but is also broadening its inspections to include other car rental businesses across Greece. The goal is to ensure fair competition and adherence to tax laws throughout the industry.
