The user sparbookfoes wrote that the federal government, consisting of the Union and SPD, is planning another tax increase despite their agreement in the coalition contract against tax hikes: the tobacco tax is set to rise.

The specific additional state revenues are difficult to predict. The German Customs and Finance Union (BDZ) predicts that more and more smokers will turn to the black market, he wrote. #Steuern #Tabaksteuer #Rauchen (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that indirect taxes continued to rise. Following taxes on tobacco and discussions about a sugar tax, there should now also be a tax on plastic packaging. According to the food newspaper he referenced, the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Federal Ministry for the Environment were planning such a levy, which was expected to generate around 1.3 billion euros in additional revenue. Boeminghaus explained that the tax could increase the burden on consumers alongside other taxes, as such costs are often passed on to private households through higher prices. He wrote that as more consumer goods are taxed additionally, real purchasing power declines and many people become poorer. He ironically referred to Germany as a country where people "pay gladly and well." https://t.co/HO9LlEgy8r #Steuern #Deutschland #Plastiksteuer (translated)
