The battle against overdue debts<\/strong> is entering a new era, as the ADEA<\/strong> is activating an extensive audit and collection plan with Artificial Intelligence, big data<\/strong> and modern electronic tools as “weapons”. <\/p>\n

The tax authority’s goal for 2026 is to collect billions of euros<\/b> from old and new debts to the state, but also to tighten surveillance of taxpayers<\/b> who, while financially able, do not meet their obligations. <\/p>\n

According to the Authority’s new operational plan, the focus is not only on collections but also on preventing the creation of new arrears<\/b>, through data analysis systems and automated control procedures. <\/p>\n

The key objectives of the AADE for 2026 <\/h2>\n

ADEA<\/strong> is setting particularly high targets for the new year, with the main goal of collecting at least 3.2 billion. euros<\/strong> from old taxpayer arrears. At the same time, it is seeking to collect a further \u20ac1.5 billion<\/strong> from old debts related to the FPA<\/strong>, an area where large revenue losses have been identified over time. <\/p>\n

Special attention is also given to large debtors,<\/b> as targeted actions are foreseen through the EMEIS<\/b> that are expected to yield at least \u20ac850 million<\/strong>. At the same time, an additional \u20ac28 million<\/strong> is being sought to collect an additional 28 million<\/strong> from overdue debts to the Customs Administration. <\/p>\n

The data available to the tax administration reveals that 71% of debtors of the Tax Administration<\/strong> and 80% of debtors of the Customs Administration<\/strong> are already facing enforcement measures. <\/p>\n

At the same time, it is planned to process at least 90% of debt restructuring applications<\/strong> through the Extra-Judicial Mechanism, while the aim is to re-evaluate at least 70% of the cases of large debtors<\/strong> of the last five years within the year. <\/p>\n

The Authority’s plan also includes achieving a 35% collection rate<\/strong> on new arrears generated. <\/p>\n

Artificial Intelligence, electronic media and taxpayer profiling<\/h2>\n

The new strategy of the ADA<\/strong> relies heavily on digital technologies and Artificial Intelligence<\/strong> tools. The tax authority is already leveraging updates via sms<\/strong>, email<\/strong> and push notifications<\/strong> so that citizens can be immediately informed about debts, instalments and adjustments. <\/p>\n

At the same time, the PARE (Payment Capacity – Attitude – Recency – Event)<\/strong> methodology is being implemented, through which a detailed financial profile of each taxpayer is created. The system examines the financial capacity to pay by analysing data from bank accounts, income and asset data. <\/p>\n

At the same time, the taxpayer’s past behaviour<\/b> towards his\/her debts, the age of the debts<\/b> and possible significant financial events that may have affected his\/her financial situation are taken into account. <\/p>\n

Through the Advanced Business Intelligence and Data Analysis System, the ADC<\/strong> is developing sophisticated predictive models using machine learning<\/strong> and AI<\/strong> to identify high-risk cases more quickly. <\/p>\n

At the same time, the possibility of electronic seizures in the hands of third parties is extended, while data cross-checks with foreign authorities continue through international administrative cooperation and mutual assistance requests for debt collection. <\/p>\n

Tax evasion, smuggling and undeclared work under the microscope<\/h2>\n

The use of Artificial Intelligence<\/strong> is not limited to overdue debts. The ADC<\/strong> is already leveraging digital cross-checks, risk analysis and big data technologies for targeted tax audits and investigations. <\/p>\n

The focus of the audits is on businesses and professional sectors that have a high rate of tax delinquency or significant discrepancies between declared income and actual spending. <\/p>\n

The Financial Transaction Control Forces are expected to further strengthen their action in uncovering organised tax evasion schemes<\/strong>, smuggling<\/strong> and tobacco trafficking<\/strong>, using all available digital tools and information systems. <\/p>\n

At the same time, the aim is to deal more effectively with fraud in VAT<\/strong>, to uncover cases of undeclared work<\/strong>, to investigate illegal financial transactions and to recover state aid and subsidies granted illegally. <\/p>\n
