(ANSAmed) - ATHENS, DECEMBER 18 - Greek tax inspectors who
routinely find tax cheats in Greece said they were amazed at how
brazen and widespread it was in the village of Arma, near
Thebes, where they said they found most of the residents driving
around in super-luxury cars such as Ferraris and the Porsche
Cayenne. The agents, as GreekReporter writes, said they were
examining nine suspects for tax evasion and charged that one
stole more than 1 million euros by not paying any Valued Added
Taxes (VAT) on goods he sold. The inspectors said that a farmer
from presented fake invoices with net asset value of 2.5 million
euros, while another farmer is said to have issued fake and
bogus invoices with net value of 1.1 million euros. The
inspectors were in the village to look for a farmer woman they
said had 100 fake invoices of 4.1 million euros she made from
selling potatoes and onions. They said she was getting VAT
refunds on on behalf the other villagers. The officials said
they suspect some 9-10 million euros had been stolen by alleged
tax cheats in the village. (ANSAmed).
