Το ζήτημα της Εισφοράς Αλληλεγγύης Συνταξιούχων (ΕΑΣ) εισέρχεται σε μια κρίσιμη φάση, καθώς την επόμενη εβδομάδα θα εξεταστεί ο τρόπος υπολογισμού της στην Ολομέλεια του Ελεγκτικού Συνεδρίου.
Η πιθανότητα μιας τροποποίησης που θα μπορούσε να μειώσει σημαντικά τις κρατήσεις για τις υψηλότερες συντάξεις παραμένει ανοιχτή.
Κεντρικό θέμα της δίκης είναι αν ο συντελεστής της εισφοράς πρέπει να εφαρμόζεται στο σύνολο της σύνταξης ή μόνο στο τμήμα που υπερβαίνει το όριο των 1.468,02 ευρώ. Η υπόθεση είχε αρχικά προγραμματιστεί για τις 10 Ιουνίου, αλλά αναβλήθηκε κατόπιν αιτήματος του Δημοσίου και έχει πλέον προγραμματιστεί για τις 7 Οκτωβρίου.
Το αντικείμενο της δίκης
Από την εξέταση του θέματος προκύπτει ότι το κρίσιμο ζήτημα δεν είναι η διατήρηση της ΕΑΣ καθαυτής, αλλά ο τρόπος υπολογισμού της. Από την 1η Ιανουαρίου 2026 η κράτηση επιβάλλεται σε κύριες συντάξεις από 1.468,02 ευρώ,με οκτώ κλιμάκια συντελεστών,που κυμαίνονται από 3% έως 14%.
The key point is that once a retiree exceeds the threshold,the corresponding rate applies to the entire amount of their pension rather than just the portion above that limit. This regulation is being challenged by a retiree who has taken legal action.
Basing on the official document from the Eλεγκτικό Συνέδριο, the central question of this case is whether applying a uniform rate to the total pension amount aligns with constitutional principles or if it should exclude a basic sum and only apply to any excess amount.
The recommendation from the General Commissioner, according to reliable legal sources, leans towards changing how calculations are made so that contributions are imposed solely on amounts exceeding this threshold. However, this recommendation does not constitute a final decision; that authority lies with the Oλομέλεια.
If this direction prevails,retirees may notice meaningful changes in their finances. For instance, for a pension of 2.000 ευρώ, if an exempted amount of 1.468 euros were applied, contributions would be calculated on €532 instead. With a rate of 7%, deductions would be around 37 ευρώ, compared to approximately 140 ευρώ currently when applying 7% on the full €2.000.
The fiscal aspect
Even if there’s an inclination towards change in recommendations , actual outcomes will depend on how any new scale takes shape following judicial review . Beyond its constitutional implications ,this matter carries significant fiscal weight : EAS serves as an essential revenue source for A.K.A.G.E (Insurance Fund for Generations Solidarity) , which acts as savings for future retirement system needs.
< p > The State Budget for 2026 anticipates revenues of approximately721 million euros from EAS related to main pensions and167 million euros from supplementary pensions , totaling around888 million euros
< p > Additionally , reports suggest that total reserves within this fund coudl exceed23 billion euros by late 2026 .
