Of
the €10.5bn in spending cuts, €6.5bn is coming from cuts to wages, pensions and
benefits. The rest is due from savings produced by structural reforms. Up to
€8bn of measures are due to be implemented next year.
· Retirees will lose
roughly a month’s worth of payments. Any pensions between €1000 and €1500 will
be cut by 2%. Those between €1500 and €2000 will be reduced by 5% and any above
€2000 reduced by 10%.
· Extra holiday payments
for pensioners and for civil servants will be abolished.
· The increase in the
retirement age from 65 to 67 is due to be implemented from next year.
· Civil servants salaries
will be cut by up to 10%, those working at public enterprises will see
reductions of between 20% and 30%.
· Self-employed will lose
their tax-free threshold of €5000 (although it will remain in place for
salaried) and be taxed on the whole of their income at a rate of 30% or
35%.
· Some 300,000 farmers
who are currently not obliged to keep records of what they sell will have to do
so and will be taxed at a similar rate to other self-employed
Greeks.
Como dizem em espanhol: "Cuando veas las barbas de tu
