In a recent diaNEOsis opinion poll, respondents seemed to agree: 85,5% stated that they consider tax evasion to be equivalent to theft. At the same time, however, 35,1% acknowledge that they would readily evade their taxes if the opportunity arose, because ‘everyone does it.’

The exact scale of tax evasion in Greece is obviously unknown. We can only rely on estimates that calculate its scale based on indicative data but, by definition there is no available information to measure its exact size. We gathered estimates that have been published on all different types of tax fraud, and we arrived at a range that may appear arbitrary to a certain extent, but which does present the closest estimate one can get from data that is available. According to the studies:
Revenue lost due to personal income tax evasion ranges from 1.9% to 4.7% of annual GDP.
An additional 3.5% of GDP is estimated to be lost due to Value-Added Tax (VAT) fraud.
Losses from alcohol, tobacco and fuel smuggling amount to about 0.5% of GDP.
For legal entities, revenue lost from tax evasion and tax avoidance is estimated at around 0.15% of GDP.
Consequently, the scale of tax evasion in Greece can be relatively safely estimated at somewhere between 6% and 9% of GDP, which amounts to something between €11 and €16 billion a year.

But who is paying taxes? It appears that, up until the first few years of the crisis, it was generally the rich who were bearing the county's tax burden.
In Greece in 2011 – the last year for which analytical official data from the GSPW are available – 5.7 million tax returns were filed, a number that has remained more or less constant for the past ten years. Nearly half of them (49%) featured declared incomes below €12,000. 64% of the self-employed declared income below the tax-free limit of €12,000 (they declared a mean income of just €4,300). These taxpayers combined paid less than 1% of the total tax revenue. και στεφτείτε σκούζουν ότι τους έχουν γαμήσει στους φόρους![]()
In other words, 2.8 million citizens paid a total of 60 million euros in taxes –€21.4 each. On the other hand, the 8% of taxpayers who declared income above €42,000 -around 400,000 citizens in total- paid 69% of the total personal income taxes.
...
In other words, in 2011, 8% of taxpayers paid 69% of the personal income tax, and 0.4% of businesses paid 61% of legal entity income tax in Greece.
The "rich" were bearing the country’s tax burden. And who are these ‘rich’? In their large majority, they are highly paid salaried workers and large businesses. The great majority of revenue from income taxes came from them. This appears to be changing, however.

This is a critical characteristic of the Greek tax problem: in Greece, the percentage of the self-employed is twice as high as the European average. According to studies, the self-employed hide around 57-58.6% of their income, while salaried workers are only able to hide about 0.5-1%. Very small businesses (0-9 people) in Greece employ a staggering 59% of all workers in the country -double the EU average. The percentage of workers in large businesses (with more than 250 employees) is just 13% in Greece, compared to 33% in the EU. This is a very serious problem, because small businesses can more easily employ undeclared workers, avoiding tax and social security payments, while issuing fewer invoices and paying less VAT.
