Supreme Court Ruling on the Appointment of the Tax Commissioner

July 22, 2025

The Supreme Court ruled that the appointment of G. Tsagkaris as Tax Commissioner in 2020 was illegal, but the decisions he made until then are still valid. It discussed the legal differences between an illegal and a void appointment. Tsagkaris was considered a de facto administrative body, and his actions had an objective appearance of legality. This sets his case apart from actions taken under a coup regime.
