CORFU. Protest convoy in town centre - "The new method of taxation will be completely devastating for the industry."

Corfu taxi owners are protesting and expressing their opposition to the tax legislation proposed by the government. They held a protest convoy starting from the airport, passing through the town centre, and concluding at the port.

Corfu Taxi Owners Association, "O Taxiarhis," has been participating since yesterday in the nationwide four-day protests called by their Federation with two repeated 48-hour strikes.

The taxi owners state that the new taxation method will be entirely devastating for the industry, leading to economic collapse and impoverishment.

They also stress that taxation based on declared income will cause an excessive deterioration of the situation, potentially forcing them to close down or leave the profession.
