ND official on off-setting of VAT, debts

A top main opposition New Democracy party official on Tuesday, referring to the government’s announcement on the off-setting of VAT returns with debts owed to the state by businesses, said that the individuals that for “six months were attacking the Samaras economic proposal in every way are copying it today, with a painful delay, only it’s one part: that of the off=setting of VAT.”

The official reminded that “New Democracy had called for the creation, for all private persons and legal entities, of a mechanism for the automatic off-setting of all debts from and to the public sector, so that liquidity will increase in the market.”
