The Greek government is losing out on €60bn of revenue because of unpaid taxes, with €30bn of it tied up in hundreds of thousands of court appeals, a report has found.
The money dwarfs the €54bn in tax revenue actually collected last year in Greece, and the amount involved could cover the government's deficits for the next three years.
The report, compiled by a special EU task force sent to dig the country out of an administrative morass, said some of the 165,000 court cases had lasted as long as 12 years.
