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.
