Greece's tax mix skews to indirect taxes, diverging from EU norm

Greece's public revenues rely on indirect taxes (VAT, excise, duties) for 40.7%-44.4% of total tax revenues, versus the EU average of 31%-33%. This structural deviation indicates a heavier consumption-based tax burden, which may affect fiscal sustainability and consumer spending. The data is sourced from a Greek financial outlet and reflects a long-standing pattern rather than a new development.
