The fiscal crisis that emerged in Greece at the beginning of the 2010s highlighted the need for structural reforms across various sectors of public administration, including the tax system. The subsequent tax reform aimed primarily at strengthening the tax compliance, with a key measure being the introduction of the new Income Tax Code (ITC), which came into effect on January 1, 2014.
This study examines the determinants of the effective tax rate (ETR) for firms in Greece during the 2010–2019 period, as well as the impact of tax reform on the relationship between firm characteristics and the ETR. The analysis is based on publicly available financial data for firms in Greece for the aforementioned period.
The results suggest that specific firm characteristics including size, leverage, investment in inventory and profitability significantly influence the effective tax rate. Furthermore, tax reform partially affected the way these firm characteristics influence the income tax burden.
