Car purchase

New data in the car market

The luxury tax is abolished

The two interventions announced yesterday by Pantelis Oikonomou are expected to give a significant boost to the car market, under threat of fines from Brussels, which would burden the Greek economy.

We remind you that the luxury tax is imposed on passenger cars, with factory value over 20.000 euros for the new ones and over 16.000 euros for used ones.

In fact, the rates of the specific tax – which has paid little to the Greek State and has brought the market to its knees – range from 10% until 40%, depending on the factory value of the car.

In everything,what about the taxation of imported used cars, Greece has been condemned in the European Court, because he has imposed taxes on these cars. Against this measure, the Association of Automobile Dealers Importers of Greece appealed to the European Competition Commission.

Which one, Nevertheless, will be the benefit to prospective buyers; The example, which follows, is indicative:

Passenger car

1.800 cubic centimeters
Taxable value 20.000 euro

Today:

Luxury tax 8.000 euro + VAT 23% = 9.840 euro
End of classification (30%) = 6.000 euro
Total taxes = 15.840 euro

With the changes:

Luxury tax = 0 euro
End of classification (reduced by 20%) = 4.800 euro

Total taxes 4.800 euro

Difference 11.040 euro

As the member of the Board of Directors points out. of the Association, Kostas Tulitsis, "it is important that the ministry implements the values ​​in such a way, so that the classification fee, who pays an imported used car. to be equal to the remaining classification fee, which includes in its sale value an identical domestic used car".

Second "Mona Lisa", contemporary of the original, discovered in Madrid

By a student of Da Vinci

Madrid

Finding sheds light on how (have to) what Leonardo da Vinci's Gioconda looked like when it was painted "celebrates" the Prado Museum of the Spanish capital: The museum has discovered that a copy of the famous painting in its collection was probably created alongside the original by a student of the great painter, and conservators argue that it provides more evidence for the iconic painting.

The copy was most likely made by da Vinci's student Francesco Melchi. "It seems as if the two painters were in the same studio, in front of the same canvas" said the deputy director of the Prado Gabriele Finaldi.

Prado and art historians did not pay much attention to the painting, overtaking him as one of Gioconda's fairly later copies. Until yesterday, around the female figure in the copy there was nothing but a dark setting - in contrast to the "unbalanced" landscape of the original.

But preparing the painting for a relevant exhibition at the Louvre in Paris, which houses the real Mona Lisa, conservators removed the "dark veil" and discovered a landscape almost identical to that in the original work.

In Prado's copy, the face of the female figure is seen without the "cracks" of the original and the colors are much more vivid. An interesting difference is the eyebrows, which are entirely missing from the original.
