Equality Union Requests Tax Deduction Adjustment Based on New Law

The Equality Union has sent a letter to the Accountant General of the Republic, Andreas Antoniades, requesting an adjustment to the calculation of payroll and tax deductions based on the new tax relief measures provided by the 2025 law. The Union argues that the implementation of the new reliefs should have an immediate impact on the disposable income of civil servants, avoiding the calculation of tax based on gross income without taking personal allowances into account. It is believed that the immediate application of deductions will boost the liquidity of families in need. Furthermore, the union requests that the necessary adjustments be made to the payroll software to take into account the family status and housing data of employees, and that similar recommendations be given to the accounting departments of Public Law Organizations for uniform application.
