This is why POMIDA sent a letter to the financial staff of the government and the Governor of AADE, requesting a monthly deadline for submitting corrective COVID declarations for the nine months of 2020 , so that no owner loses his legal compensation!
The content of the letter is as follows:
To the Minister of Finance Mr. Christos Staikouras
The Deputy Minister of Finance Mr. Theodoros Skylakakis
The Deputy Minister of Finance Mr. Apostolos Vesyropoulos
The Governor of AADE Mr. Giorgos Pitsilis
There Athens, 21.2.2021
Subject: To be given a monthly deadline for submitting 2020 corrective COVID declarations!
Honorable Ministers, Mr Governors
In a few days it will be a year of “cut” rents, and yet a large number of property owners , undergoing these bloody cuts, which endanger its survival, still remains without compensation, payment or even a clear response to the March-December 2020 COVID declarations…
It is particularly promising that with the interactivity that was added a few days ago to the new COVID 2021 declarations in accordance with our proposals, so that the application now responds immediately if the tenant is affected and therefore the lessor is the beneficiary, the validity of the submitted declarations and the need for checks by the AADE is significantly reduced, in which case the process of paying landlords’ compensations from rent reductions, which is the current issue, will be shortened.
That is why we propose to resolve the outstanding issues, mistakes and injustices of 2020 as follows:
First to send messages to taxpayers about the reasons for rejecting their returns for this period, so that they know and correct the reason, and
Secondly, to give a final monthly deadline for submission of initial &amending declarations & of COVID declarations to at least the following categories of owners:
For submission of initial COVID declarations by property owners who:
*Their tenants (of the main and student residence) were retroactively declared by their employers to be under suspension and informed them with a delay of many months that they are entitled to a rent reduction, which they forced upon them by withholding from subsequent leases, disregarding the fact that the deadline for submitting COVID declarations by those landlords had meanwhile expired, or
*They missed the deadlines due to lack of information, especially during the first period of reductions.
To submit corrective COVID returns that were rejected primarily because:
*Their tenants had not notified them that they had granted the use and exploitation of their property to third parties, contractually or not,
*Write down the amount of the initial rent (due to its adjustment in the meantime) or the reduced rent incorrectly or with a small deviation, or include the stamp in the amount,
* They have misrepresented the use of their rental property.
*They have not previously provided information that the lease is active.
Only in this way will we all be sure that no one has been wronged by the property owners, from that category of citizens who, while continuing to suffer a huge blow, are the only ones who are not labeled as “affected”!! !
