6/24/15 Greece rejects IMF’s proposals for Corporate Tax, Pension Cuts & 23% VAT in food

Hardly had Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras stepped at Brussels airport and the creditors started to throw stones on his way to the meeting with Institutions. They have reportedly submitted a new proposal as they do not agree with Greece’s equivalent measures.

It is said that especially the IMF rejects Greek government proposals to raise corporate tax from 26% now to 29% as well as the health care contributions increase to pensioners.
.
.

The IMF wants cuts in public spending and not revenue increases as the Greek proposal.

Meanwhile Greek media report from Brussels that Tsipras will have a meeting with Juncker first, then with Draghi and Lagarde. The Institutions ECB, IMF and EC had a meeting with Eurogroup’s Dijsselbloem and EFSF’ Klaus Regling.

PS and then all together may play music chairs….
