1 Investment Incentives Law
2 Investment Incentives Law Investment Law: Liquidity Speed Transparency The Investment Law of Greece aims to increase liquidity, accelerate investment procedures and ensure transparency. The Investment Law provides for an efficient institutional framework for all investors and speeds the approval process for pending, approved investment projects. This Law 4146/2013 Creation of a Development Friendly Environment for Strategic and Private Investments [download here - only available in Greek] of the Ministry for Development, Competitiveness, Infrastructure, Transport and Networks, aims at modernising and improving the institutional framework for private investments, subject to investment laws. Provisions are introduced regarding:
3 A) Provision of Liquidity and Acceleration of the grant disbursement procedures: Option for 100% (increased from 50%) advance payment of the grant with a letter of guarantee. The investor may chose the preferred mix of the Investment Law benefits (tax-relief or grant) for investments up to 50 million, to enhance the flexibility of financing for Small and Medium * investors. Tax-relief may be up-front, to enhance both the liquidity of companies and their viability. Investors who apply for the benefits of the Law may cover the requirement for a minimum 25% own capital by using company liquefiable assets. Sectors of entrepreneurship to be supported through the Law are expanding. The previous time limitation for the submission of investment plans, only in April and October, is abolished. Submissions may be made throughout the year. * Investor s size as per EU definition B) Enhancing Transparency and Auditing Procedures of the Investment Law: To enable the immediate closure of pending audits and the disbursement of outstanding installments, the Law provides for interim and final audits performed by certified private sector institutions, such as banks and accounting firms. For Photovoltaic Parks approved for grants, in which the rated power is not to be the same as the original proposal but does not vary more than 10% than the amount approved, a special request for changing supplier or equipment is no longer required. Due to the economic crisis, a one-year extension is provided for the completion of the investment plans that had been applied for under the Investment Law from 2007 onwards and have been approved. To enhance transparency for large investment projects, the budget of projects that need to be ratified by Parliament is reduced to 50 million, from 150 million. Establishment of an independent Auditing Department of Private Investments to continuously monitor compliance with the procedures governing the grants of business plans, and to combat both delinquent and unlawful behaviours. The Department, which will report directly to the Minister for Development will also have a consulting role, since any malfunction of procedures will be identified through its findings.
