I had a colleague who went on a Greek island cruise and told me a story of a common tax invasion scheme he heard about. I can't say whether this is true or not as he tends to tell "tall tales". He said he noticed a lot of residential properties with tiny churches on them. He said he learned that if Greeks had a church on their property it would be taxed at a much lower rate (or perhaps not at all) and therefore everyone had these tiny one person churches on their properties.
- mitsakos 7y agoNo, that's not true. The reason that was done was because of a regulation that forced the electrical grid to treat church grid connection in an expedited manner. So one would built a house with a tiny church and would file papers for expedited connection to the grid. That was happening in places that were sparsely built and the cost of the grid to reach a house was great.
