Minister says he plans to unify tax, social security and ID numbers
Interior Minister Panagiotis Kouroumblis said on Monday that his ministry intends to unify the tax identification number (TIN), the identity card number and the social security number, in an effort to tackle bureaucracy.
The minister, who was talking to private radio station Parapolitika, said the plan was initiated by formed Interior Minister Nikos Voutsis. “We must clash with the monster of bureaucracy that absorbs 6% of our GDP,” he noted.
