A number of businesses on the Greek islands of Santorini and Naxos have been fined and ordered to temporarily suspend operations following tax violations uncovered by inspectors.

On Santorini, three businesses were ordered to shut down for 48 hours after inspectors found that they had failed to issue 17 receipts worth a combined total of slightly more than €35,000.

One of the businesses, a well-known restaurant in a prime location on the island, was found to have failed to issue an invoice worth €19,700.

On Naxos, tax inspectors found violations at three short-term rental properties, which had failed to issue 97 receipts worth nearly €120,000 in total.

The inspections are part of ongoing efforts by Greek tax authorities to crack down on tax evasion and ensure compliance, particularly during the peak summer tourism season.
