The author referred to the promise in the coalition agreement not to raise taxes and wrote that, at the same time, higher levies on sugar, Bitcoin, tobacco, plastic, alcohol, sparkling wine, and alcopops are currently relevant. He questioned Merz's statement that Ukraine costs nothing and provocatively asked whether bureaucracy and what he called the "climate madness" are also free of charge. He described the renunciation of tax increases as one of the few corresponding promises. https://t.co/wTIQrEy9zM #Steuern #Politik #Deutschland #DE #UA (translated)

He also wrote that small and medium incomes would be more affected because inflation and new and higher taxes were consuming what he viewed as only symbolic relief. https://t.co/S0jstFdpEM #Steuern #Inflation #Wirtschaft #DE (translated)
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.

Blocktrainer reported that different positions regarding the planned change in crypto taxation were gradually emerging within the Union, after the responses from members of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group had long been almost identical. Parliamentary group leader Thorsten Frei described the assessment as unclear and simultaneously pointed to the group's responsibility to ensure adequate funding for the federal budget. He did not rule out compromises. CDU member Roderich Kiesewetter, on the other hand, saw no convincing reason to treat Bitcoin differently from gold. He argued that Bitcoin fundamentally differs from traditional investments due to the absence of an issuer, ongoing interest or dividend payments, and the securitization of company shares. He referred to proximity to physical gold or foreign currencies as an appropriate benchmark within the framework of § 23 EStG. CSU member Lenz saw no reason to change the existing regulation, citing the coalition agreement and tax law principles. Felix Schreiner, parliamentary manager of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, described the holding period as sensible because it promotes long-term and self-responsible wealth accumulation. He viewed a blanket abolition critically and announced his intention to advocate for the maintenance of the one-year holding period in the further parliamentary process. Blocktrainer also called on Union representatives to be contacted and to point out the problems it sees with the planned change. #KryptoSteuer #Bitcoin #Bundestag (translated)
Die Berliner SPD will sich zu Sondierungsgesprächen mit der Mauerschützenpartei Die Linke treffen. DieGeilheit auf Teilhabe an der Macht ist wie erwartbar größer als Haltung oder Moral. Die Bundespartei wird ,wie immer in solchen Fällen, auf die Autonomie des Landesverbands verweisen und die CDU an die Brandmauer nach rechts erinnern, weil das ja im Koalitionsvertrag steht. Und Friedrich Merz wird für die Situation vom sensiblen Lars Verständnis zeigen und zur Amtssicherung die Reformen reformieren. Wann wird dieses Schauspiel endlich beendet? #BerlinerSPD #DieLinke #Politik
Wenn Friedrich Merz sich nicht auf den Koalitionsvertrag beruft, um die linken Judenhasser an der Macht in Berlin zu verhindern, geht er in die Geschichte ein. Als neuer von Papen, der historisch leider in die falsche Richtung geguckt hat. #FriedrichMerz #Politik #Geschichte
