In 2019, Eisenstadt received 7.5 million euros in revenue shares, according to Mayor and Vice President of the Municipal Association Thomas Steiner; recently, it had only been three million. #Kommunalwahlen #Burgenland #Finanzen (translated)
This increase does not have to happen because the mayors are mismanaging finances, but because the state’s deductions from revenue shares have risen significantly.

The opponents of the savings account advocated not to abolish the ten-year holding period for real estate, but to extend it to stocks and ETFs as well. Those who hold securities for a long time should be able to realize profits tax-free. The author referred to this as a logical step in a country whose politics, in his view, have severely damaged the pension system while regularly emphasizing that citizens must provide for themselves privately. #Finanzen #Steuern #Rente (translated)
Maxim Röder wrote that he had the opportunity to exit profitably with each of his investments, but did not always do so. Sometimes he was held back by conviction, sometimes by convenience or greed. Complaining helps little in the face of losses: one must analyze ruthlessly why the exit was missed, otherwise one will continue to pay for lessons at the stock exchange. It is crucial to take responsibility. #Investieren #Finanzen #Börse (translated)

Gerald Markel accused Ukrainian citizens of living in Europe off money from corruption and theft. He referred to data from the Spanish Notary Chamber, according to which more than 14,000 real estate transactions with Ukrainian buyers, amounting to over two billion euros, had been registered since the beginning of the war. The average income in Ukraine is approximately 600 euros, he wrote. Markel claimed that since February 2022, 500 billion euros and dollars had flowed into Ukraine, with 300 billion coming from Europe. Germany had provided more than 100 billion euros in taxpayers' money over the past 4.5 years. He also criticized the EU for planning to introduce a control mechanism for the use of funds only in 2026, in connection with a 90-billion-euro package. He accused Ukraine of holding state funerals for SS collaborators and mass murderers. As an example of what he sees as inconsistent controls, Markel described the sale of a property in Vienna to a Ukrainian citizen in 2019 for just under five million euros. Although the buyer had lived in Germany for years and had the money in German accounts, Markel stated that it had been difficult for months to open an escrow account in Austria for the purchase. Banks had deemed the scrutiny of the source of funds too cumbersome; the transaction was only completed after months and numerous documents. He lamented that European citizens were subjected to strict compliance checks for transfers, while the Spanish real estate purchases by Ukrainian citizens went through without issues. #Ukraine #Korruption #Finanzen (translated)
