FinMin shutting down 14 island tax offices in consolidation move

The closures are the last of a series of stages in a plan to consolidate services that began in fulfillment of memorandum obligations by Greece to its lenders. The ministry said the original 290 offices operating in 2011 would be reduced to 120 within 2013.

The tax offices that are shutting down include those on the following islands: Andros, Egina, Kalymnos, Karpathos, Kea, Limnos, Milos, Poros, Skiathos, Skopelos, Spetses, Tinos and Hydra. The tax office of Aghios Kyrikos on Ikaria island will also be shut down.

According to the ministry, some of the functions of tax services have moved online at www.taxis.net, with more functions being added gradually. The ministry’s target is to gradually do away with payments through tax offices and have them done through banks instead.
