Kostis Hatzidakis, the minister of economy and finance, announced the elimination of a license quota, a special business tax for freelance professionals, while speaking to the House of Representatives' Finance Committee.

Until now, it was foreseen that in 2025 the tax on self-employed persons and sole proprietorships would be abolished and that 2 years later, from 2025, it would be abolished for businesses and their branches as well as for freelance professionals. Now, the move comes 2 years early.

Based on the announcement of the Minister of Finance, from next year about 25,000 employees will be spared yearly from the tax of €400-500.
