Your affairs are so complicated in Greece!!! Since we have come to this stage, please give me an example of your Φ.Α.Ε.Ε., so I have it in mind. I'll be thankful. It sounds complicated, no wonder ordinary mortals do not pay it, they do not understand it, perhaps. Οι μάγκες δεν πληρώνουν φόρους!!

Two things are blatantly clear: 1) This tax is NOT INCOME TAX (φόρος εισοδήματος). 2) This tax is a SPECIAL TAX applied to the self-employed ON AMOUNTS THAT THEY ARE PAID FOR SERVICES THEY PROVIDE AS SELF-EMPLOYED PERSONS. Self-employed persons pay income tax AND this special tax. Alas, there is no direct translation for "φόρος ελευθέρων επαγγελματιών" into English, because this type of tax obviously does not exist in the UK tax system. What we do have to give our friend SGOUZA, though, is a clear interpretation of the MEANING of this term IN ENGLISH, so that any English speaker, whether in the UK, Brazil or Outer Mongolia, can understand what this type of tax is. For any further clarifications, please refer to specialists...

A self-employed man is meant to work on his own and gets 'αμοιβές'=payments for that work done. That is EARNED income. Rental Income and all that is NOT EARNED INCOME, and is taxed separately. One has to decide if 'αμοιβές'= payments for services rendered. If so, then Income Tax is paid. That's the way income tax is computed and levied in the UK. Could it be different in Greece?

This cannot be income tax. It is tax imposed on the self-employed for the fees they charge. For example, a self-employed person (who legally provides translation services, issues receipts for those FEES and pays tax on those fees) may also rent out a property; the money he makes from that property would be part of his income, but he wouldn't pay φόρο ελευθέρων επαγγελματιών on that.

I did!

Σπύρο, αμοιβές είναι εισόδημα. Εκτός αν είναι....'φακελάκι'! Κι' επειδή είναι εισόδημα τότε πληρώνουν 'Φόρο εισοδήματος', Income Tax.
Καταλαμβάνω ότι 'αμοιβή' στα αγγλικά το λέγεις 'remuneration' αλλά και και αυτά είναι εισόδημα, όπως είναι και το 'μπόνους', τα τυχερά των σερβιτόρων, ως και το 'εισόδημα' των....ιερόδουλων!!! Ο νόμος υπάρχει, πληρωμή δεν γίνεται.

Transphy, how would you translate then "φόρος εισοδήματος ελ. επαγγελματιών"
