An Athens court declared the tax officials strike on December 29 illegal. Consequently, tax offices will open up on Friday, December 30. This means this will be the last day for many Greeks to settle their pending tax issues.
The only case, in which tax payers can postpone their payment until January 13, concerns the commission of the special signs of motor vehicle taxes.
