Mr. Terence Quick
CONSIDERATIONS OF O.E.V.E.M FOR 2013
The Federation of Professionals, Craftsmen and Merchants Magnesia. Wishes you a happy birthday. The wishes of all of us is to go in the new year 2013 with health, love, happiness and less trouble, no auctions, no payment orders without padlocks, fewer unemployed, and of course to be given financial incentives on the part of the state to give the possibility of hope but also of everyday sustainability of our business. Please note that you need on your part to press the extent of your abilities the government that the new tax bill is based on a mild and rational management of both the tax and subject to insurance. Not be filed tax bill which gives the possibility of reducing the tax burden of 16.5% to 6% of enterprises existing in Greece SA & Ltd, and of course to attempt a dramatic charge by 50%, 80 % to 420% and the rest (94%) of small businesses. Key features of the new tax is the civil division, depending on the source of income and not its height. The non-taxable limit and the exemptions, even for medical costs for entrepreneurs. Main adverse effects on small businesses are summarized as follows:
1. Remove untaxed € 5,000.
2. Despite government commitments to bill insurance contributions (OAEE) are not deductible (!)
3. Increases in income of 2012 the end vocation. In 2013 the liquidation of the tax return the self-employed will pay EUR 650 instead of 500 who paid this year and businesses will pay 1,000 instead of 500 who paid this year. In business branches end increases from 300 to 600 euros.
4. Dramatic burden by 50%, 80% and 420% for small businesses, which represent 94% of businesses in Greece. Considering the costs of electricity dues increases EETIDE SMEs inordinately bear the weight of fiscal targets for 2013 and especially at a time tested their strength. However, for large AE firms, Ltd. (6% of businesses in Greece) provided tax burden decrease by 16.5%.
5. The only positive, albeit insufficient, the preferential treatment of those young entrepreneurs realize start activity in 2013, and three years for the first $ 10,000 of income will be taxed at 13% rate.
According to the European Commission on 16/01/2012 bill unduly burden small businesses and entrepreneurs who declare their income (not those who report no.)
A) Small firms offered 85% of net job creation in Greece and Europe over the period 2002-2010.
B) Very small enterprises (from 1-9) show the highest job growth in relation to the SA, LLC and SMEs in the EU
C) In Greece 57% of employment is offered by enterprises up to 9 employees.
D) The highest average annual number change (+ 2.8%) located in Greece in small businesses (from 10-49 employees). The corresponding rate of change for large businesses is negative in (- 1.5%) which is the third largest negative after the respective Romania and Malta.
Finally, the new tax bill removes any possibility thinking and development and investment by small and micro enterprises, with obvious implications and jobs.
For our security rights by the OAU has so far sent 95,000 notices and requests within 10 days of receipt to appeal our colleagues to settle the debts. Otherwise will assure arrears through the KEDE (Public Revenues Collection Center), and of course in this manner our colleagues trapped, unable to get insurance clearance nor consider books and records. The proposals O.E.V.E.M. on the pension issue are:
1) Freeze (capitalization) of all old debts and also to empower them by paying a minimum charge per semester to be regarded insurance aware. Especially for the critical 2012-2014.
2) Mild debts settings without down payment and repayment in 120 monthly installments, or mild adjustment with minimum payment of € 100 dose two months after the expiry of two years.
3) Consideration here and now all books of OAEE for at least 12 months.
4) We demand social security clearance to all members to help them run their businesses.
5) There are sectors that need to get insurance clearance to consider their licenses such as for example the sector of public markets.
6) To stop the mockery of the calculation of pensions of successive insurance, and of course to stop mockery policyholders by increasing the age limit.
7) From the moment the OAEE provides no due debts healthcare should remove the amount of 25% to 27% of medical coverage that kept our Fund illegally.
8) Delete all the surcharges imposed on insurance contribution, and of course there needs to be a levy reduction of our fellow members by 30% because the business revenue declined dramatically.
9) Against Hunger pensions that do not correspond to the revenue collected our contributions.
10) To raise the debt limit that exists today from 20.000 € 30,000 for those retiring.
11) Direct activation of the Solidarity Fund is the social helper of each operator, and of course you need to work the unemployment insurance account separately for employees and independent entrepreneurs. For this reason, in recent years our colleagues are asked to pay a special fee to have their own fund in case of unemployment.
12) To integrate immigrants into the formal labor market.
Finally we hope to compete both you as a party Independent Greeks and the government to allow of hope and sustainability for all the world without violence, in peace.
SINCERELY
THE PRESIDENT: Kogias Kostas
THE GENERAL SECRETARY: Poulios Apostolos
