It is well known that paragraph 3 of Article 15 of Law 3888/2010 provided that taxpayers shall justify any increase to their property in order to avoid a relevant added tax. The provision is as follows:
“In case of an asset increase from an unknown or uninterrupted or unstable source or cause, the taxpayer may be required to prove that a) the true source or cause of the origin of the increase or b) the taxpayer is taxed by other provisions or c) the taxpayer is exempted by special provisions.”
