Tax evasion in Greece threatened to take organised form on Thursday when café and restaurant owners refused to pay a 10-point VAT hike, as a deep recession clashes with the government’s increasingly desperate search for revenue.

The steep rise in value added tax on the hospitality sector from 13 per cent to 23 per cent is part of a package of fiscal measures agreed in return for the country’s second financial rescue by European Union partners.

But for many of Greece’s ubiquitous cafés and souvlaki stands, which have already seen a 20-40 per cent decline in business in the past year as customers rein in spending, the VAT rise is the final straw.

They just don’t want to pay a tribute to the global criminal empire of bank fraud. Ice Land is a witness to the the truth that most of the debts where manufactured by banker/fraudsters and not the countries citizens. The Greeks also know who the criminal are, but their leadership has failed them. It the same in America where the Obama administration refuses to prosecute the financial fraud practitioners — many of their dealing designed specifically and deliberately to subvert correct functioning of government in America. Slush funds that are part of the coup are not legitimate debt of the state — nor are monies that ended up in off-shore accounts or a missing into globalist purposes.
Much of the CIA and military debt don’t qualify as national debt, for actions that benefit globalists and banker-cartel, but not citizens of USA. It is a huge tax fraud of tremendous proportions, all these debt that that are illegitimate. It might be time to liquidate GE for instance — due to it’s criminal combines with the Corporation of United States DC. It is a huge fraud that they pay no taxes but buy that “protection” with political contributions. It sure sounds criminal to me!
They should do what Italians are doing. Print alternative money to help the locals.

since there is no value added at all the VAT is a fraud in itself in all countries.
NON-COMPLIANCE is the way to go! Great job Greece!
An important detail…

The Greek restaurateurs are refusing to pay the V.A.T. What I want to know is have they collected it already from their customers and are therefore pocketing it, or are they not collecting it from their customers in the first place?

I suspect it’s the former.
Greece is only a proving ground on which the banksters try to what degree austerity measures can be pushed before a general revolt occurs. The moneylenders will eventually take over all the other european nations as well.
I hope more of them band together and all agree to refuse to pay. The government can’t arrest all resturant owners, they just have to stick together.
I hope the restaurants and cafe owners stay strong and do not give in to the tyrants.
I like the Orwellian terminology they use here – financial “rescue” Piling vast sums of unrepayable debt on already vast sums of unrepayable debt isn’t a rescue. It’s a death sentence – handed to a patient already clinically dead
The Greeks have the same problem we do, they have a privately owned unaccountable Central Bank that prints the money rather than the Greek government. Thru the magic of fractional reserve banking, they also can produce inflation(high prices/too much money per capita) or depression(not enough money per capita) coupled with break down in import/export protection of national products will yield same results in U.S. at some point. Get rid of the Central Bank!
GREAT, the FRENCH are sticking up to this crime of inhumanity theft from the global elite who want to destroy all semblance of the Middle Class wealth via the Federal Reserve money printing and their cohorts Goldman Greedy Government Sachs, etc., and all their “front-running” buddies who would just as soon see the masses suffer rather than see themselves pay the price for anything fraudulent that they’ve done!
Americans need to grow a set, I like it
Peaceful NON COMPLIANCE
PEACE
DO NOT SUBMIT
They shouldn’t pay the 13% either.
OBVIOUS YOU ARE NOT INFORMED OR YOU ARE A GLOBALIST IDIOT.

“…the government’s increasingly desperate search for revenue.”

Why don’t they just print more money?
- Hahahahaha that’s what Alan Greenspan said! LOL! Someone should do a remix of that video set to a techno beat ala the Cosby song about Pokemon!
- I assume that was sarcasm.
I’m thinking about buying a Bouzoukis.
But you can take your VAT and shove it.
I feel for the Greeks, I also feel for Chaz Bono. They both need help. MCB
GFJ Greece!!! Never pay the NWO Austerity Taxes!!!! Like feeding a rabid dog, sooner or later your going to get bit or worse!
- Lol. You mean stray dog?? They stop eating and drinking water when rabid.
  - lol
I don’t what to pay for the international bankers theft here in this country. Why should they?
Kudos to the Greeks. The entire world, most specifically the US, need more people like this. Tell these money hungry hogs in government to stay out of our pockets, out of our lives!!!!
FUCKING GREEKS .SEEMS LIKE THEY DONT WANT TO PAY FOR NOTHING. I SEE A BAIL OUT GOING THERE WAY AGAIN.
- So the resturant owners must pay outrageous taxes to pay back the predatory loans made by banksters to corrupt politicians that are in their pocket?
  
  The banksters should not have loaned Greece too much money, its their fault and they should take the loss. If Greece gets a government that isn’t in the pocket of the banksters they should repudiate the debt and leave the Euro.
