Greece<\/a>\u2019s AI tax monitoring system will help authorities track debtors, assess repayment capacity, and strengthen the collection of overdue taxes. Credit: Wikimedia Commons \/ Chmunro \/ CC BY SA 4<\/a><\/p>\n Greece\u2019s Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) is launching an AI-driven monitoring system to track public debtors more closely, as overdue tax debts have risen to \u20ac114.5 billion (about $133 billion).<\/p>\n Nearly 4.8 million taxpayers are currently listed as debtors, while only around \u20ac5 billion ($5.8 billion) in overdue obligations are under active repayment arrangements. The scale of the problem has pushed the tax administration to adopt more advanced digital tools to assess who can realistically repay their debt and who may face stricter enforcement.<\/p>\n At the center of the new strategy is PARE, an AI-driven model that has been integrated into Eispraxis, Greece\u2019s tax collection system. The platform will continuously score taxpayers by analyzing financial data, banking transactions, assets, and broader tax behavior.<\/p>\n How Greece\u2019s AI-driven tax monitoring system works<\/p>\n PARE is an acronym for Payment Capacity, Attitude, Recency, and Event. In Greek, \u201cpare\u201d also echoes the word for \u201ctake\u201d or \u201cget,\u201d giving the name an ironic undertone for a tool designed to help authorities recover unpaid taxes.<\/p>\n The first pillar, Payment Capacity, examines a debtor\u2019s financial profile, including income, bank deposits, property holdings, and overall assets. This allows AADE to estimate whether a taxpayer has the means to meet outstanding obligations.<\/p>\n The second pillar, Attitude, evaluates behavior toward tax<\/a> responsibilities. It records whether taxpayers file declarations on time, respond to notices, comply with audits, and make payments, or whether they systematically ignore tax authorities.<\/p>\n Recency, the third pillar, focuses on the age of the debts, the frequency of late payments<\/a>, and any failed repayment arrangements, while the fourth pillar, Event, takes into account financial or personal developments that may have affected a debtor\u2019s ability to pay, such as loss of income, bankruptcy, or legal disputes.<\/p>\n Tax debtors to be directed toward settlement options<\/p>\n Based on the profile generated by the system, AADE<\/a> will guide debtors toward suitable settlement solutions. These may include standard repayment schemes or Greece\u2019s out-of-court debt settlement mechanism.<\/p>\n
