SYRIZA MEP Alexis Georgoulis responded publicly today regarding the zero income he presented to “where do you come from”.
For the year 2019, which corresponds to the financial data of 2018, it declared zero income and deposits of approximately 190,000 euros, mainly in banks abroad. When asked by an ANT1 journalist why he did not show any income in Greece in 2018 while having an international career, the presenter and actor explained that since 2007 he has been living between Greece and America and “traveling abroad in general.” But the main reason is, as he says, that in the last years before being elected, he was working in England.
“I have had a green card for ten years, so I have a permanent home in the United States. For the last four years, until 2018, my base was in England. In 2019, because of ‘Your face sounds familiar to me’ and the show “Wanted Liar”, at the show at the Palace, I came to Greece. So until 2018, I was actually working abroad, not doing jobs in Greece. Maybe something escaped me over the years, I would have done something very small. ”
“All my work and all my work was in England. I made a company that could manage my own rights. In order to defend my rights in England and the work I do there instead of me. In England I am with the corresponding IKA, as well as In America. For every fee I have paid taxes in England normally. Not because the company is based in England, but because the work was done in England. “
“They paid me a pound. I think there is a point of view that whoever owns a company abroad does so to avoid tax evasion in Greece. You could say that if your work was done in Greece and you paid taxes in England. In any case, the taxes between Greece and England do not make much difference, that is, it would not benefit me to work in Greece and maintain a company in England. What we need to justify is morality. Because that sounded too much. If you live in another country, the moral is to pay taxes there.
“It is the same pattern. They are caught by something that seems to be right and they hit me. In general, we have entered an era, due to social networks, where trolling, bowling, cannibalism in general is easy, and in public it’s even easier because you can’t get into the process of answering everyone. No arguments Morality [του ζητήματος] It is answered by the fact that I worked and lived in another country. Why pay in another country? “
