AADE: declared income for 2024 reaches €115.93 billion
A 9.3% rise from 2023 in the new annual tables. The figures concern returns filed in 2025, with data extracted on June 18, 2026.
Income declared for tax year 2024 totalled €115.93 billion, according to AADE’s new annual statistics for individuals. Comparison with the corresponding official 2023 bulletin, which recorded €106.08 billion, shows an increase of about €9.85 billion or 9.3%. ERT also reports the main figures.
The reference period matters: these are 2024 incomes and returns filed in 2025. AADE gives June 18, 2026 as the data extraction date. The tables do not describe incomes taxpayers are earning today and do not constitute a new change in tax rates.
Total tax in the tables reached €13.87 billion, compared with €12.28 billion for the previous tax year, an increase of 12.9%. This does not mean the entire amount was an additional payment due after assessment: the same bulletin records €9.65 billion in withheld taxes. Total tax and the final balance of each assessment are different measures.
By source, the category of employment and seafaring income accounts for €82.93 billion. Business activity follows at €10.99 billion; dividends, interest, royalties and capital-transfer gains at €10.80 billion; property at €9.28 billion; and agricultural business activity at €1.92 billion.
The income adjustment from imputed living expenses amounts to €3.88 billion. The table also distinguishes declared income from taxable income, recorded at €119.50 billion. These categories should not be confused with money collected by the state.
The analysis covers 6,896,253 tax returns. The number of returns is not the same as the number of people, since joint returns include spouses’ information. The increase in the total declared amount is also nominal and does not by itself establish an equivalent improvement in each household’s purchasing power.
