Only about half as many taxpayers have submitted their income tax returns so far this year compared to 2024, according to Tax Commissioner Sotiris Markides.
Markides told CNA that by the morning of Friday, 29 August, 2025, around 182,000 individual income tax returns for the 2024 tax year (Form TF1, without accounts) had been processed, about 56% of the total number processed by the same time last year.
Of these, around 162,000 have been “officially submitted,” which is roughly 51% of the number finalized by this time last year, while about 20,000 remain in “provisional receipt” status.
By the final deadline for 2023 filings, 322,330 taxpayers had processed their returns and 317,400 had submitted them definitively.
Under a Cabinet Decree dated June 20, 2025, the deadline for timely submission of Individual Income Tax Returns without accounts for the 2024 tax year—and payment of any tax due—has been extended until September 30, 2025.
Employees, pensioners and self-employed individuals whose gross total income for 2024 exceeds €19,500 are required to file. Submissions are made exclusively through the TaxisNet system.
