On the initiative of the Head of Development and Investments of the KO of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance, Alexis Haritsis, 57 MPs of SYRIZA-PS submitted a question regarding the refundable advances that businesses are required to pay gradually from the end of July.
As the MPs of SYRIZA-PS note, “in the past few days, the Government decided to post the settlement statements of the businesses’ debts from the refundable advance, which they had received during the pandemic. Over 600,000 businesses are required to pay VAT at the end of the month , income tax, ENFIA and part of the refundable advance, intensifying the liquidity problem faced by many of them.
According to data from IME GSEVEE, 48% of small and very small businesses faced a liquidity problem as early as the second half of 2021, 21.4% have no cash at all, while 47.3% have an overdue debt to the State or private individuals.
At the same time, businesses and professionals, already burdened by the multiple crises, are today facing the consequences of the explosive increase in inflation, which will reach 12.1% for June 2021. The increases in energy costs, raw materials and fuels, the blockade of the vast majority of businesses from bank lending and financing programs, create an explosive framework within which they are called upon to operate.
– Because businesses and professionals are facing the painful effects of burst inflation
– Because the majority of businesses and professionals face an explosive liquidity problem
– Because, until now, the Government has limited itself to piecemeal and ineffective support measures
The relevant Ministers are asked,
1. Does the Government intend to make non-refundable the refundable advance that over 600,000 businesses received and are required to repay gradually from the end of July?
2. What measures does the Government intend to take in order to avoid the financial annihilation of businesses and professionals from the constant crises they have to face?”
