The state expects revenues of nearly 1.5 billion euros per year starting in 2028, he wrote. He criticized that the levy will raise the cost of shopping while being described as environmental protection. #Plastiksteuer #Umweltschutz #Einkaufspreise (translated)

Roman Reher criticized the planned taxation of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that Lars Klingbeil wanted to change. According to Reher, profits after a holding period of one year would no longer be tax-free. He wrote that there was no understandable reason given for why Bitcoin should be taxed differently than gold. According to Reher, the tax could bring in up to 350 million euros in additional revenue per year. However, the yet-to-be-determined effort for implementation could exceed these revenues, as the change would impose significant administrative burdens on tax offices, states, and companies. Reher also wrote that the tax would relieve high-earning traders, who currently pay their personal income tax rate on sales within a year. In contrast, long-term savers who want to independently save for retirement would be worse off. In his assessment, the media showed little interest in Klingbeil's crypto tax. #Kryptowährungen #Steuerpolitik #Finanzen (translated)
The account of the savings book enemy wrote that Germany currently pays 1.4 billion euros annually from the federal budget for the EU levy on plastic packaging.

Hundreds of additional officials will be needed for control, and there will be a lot of bureaucracy for producers and traders. The additional burden for a family of four is estimated to be between 80 and 100 euros per year. The account described the levy as another consumption tax that increases the cost of food and drives inflation. #Plastiksteuer #Inflation #Verbraucherschutz (translated)
