[01] Draft bill on prior actions for loan tranche, recapitalisation
tabled in Parliament
A draft bill legislating the prior actions Greece and its lenders
agreed to before the country receives a 2-bln-euro loan tranche and 10
billion euros to recapitalise its banks was tabled in Parliament early
on Wednesday morning
The bill includes measures that will replace tax revenues from a
controversial 23% VAT tax on private schools, such as a fee on state
lottery fill-out forms and a special consumer tax on wine.
Other provisions will no longer oblige owners to pay tax on uncollected
rents (provided a court order has been issued against a renter), and
will extend the repayment period for each installment of a debt whose
holder is on a 100-installment payment plan.
