In September and after the findings from this year's tax returns have been evaluated, the presumptive method of determining profits for self-employed persons will be re-evaluated, with the aim of making the system more efficient and, above all, to correct some extreme injustices that have been observed.

 The forthcoming changes have also been announced by the Prime Minister himself, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, when he recently referred to this issue immediately after the European elections. As he had noted, "I understand the reaction and the feeling of injustice, but the presumption is'militant'". He had added, "We will not go back on the reform; maybe there will be some improvements, but the core will not change. Keep in mind that we will only have partial corrections if there are some gross injustices, which we will now find in the process. There will be no change in the central core of our policy."

According to reports, as soon as the submission of tax returns is completed, the findings from them will be assessed, and thereafter, where failures are found, there will be intervention so as to give the impression that injustices are being corrected.

Sources in the finance ministry referring to the issue confirm the intention to make changes but emphatically note that "the basic core of the law will not change.".
