Greece to Remove Municipal Charges from Electricity Bills in Major Local Government Reform
The Greek government is preparing one of the most significant reforms to local government financing in decades, ending the long-standing practice of collecting municipal charges through electricity bills. Scheduled to take effect in 2028, the reform is designed to strengthen fiscal transparency, modernize local tax administration and align Greece more closely with European public finance practices. Political observers see the initiative as part of a broader strategy to accelerate digital governance while redefining the relationship between municipalities, energy suppliers and taxpayers.
