Volker Ketzer wrote that the government plans a new plastic tax of 550 euros per ton. Since plastic is found in numerous products and packaging, manufacturers would, in his estimation, pass on the tax costs and the additional bureaucratic effort to consumers. 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)

Simon Betschinger referred to a report by Handelsblatt, stating that the plastic tax would generate 1.4 billion euros and cause 150 million euros in bureaucracy costs.

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. Lars Klingbeil wants to change this from 2027; the plastic tax will be passed on to consumers. 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)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Germany should introduce a plastic tax and a sugar tax starting in the summer of 2027. Together, they are expected to generate around 2.5 billion euros in additional revenue each year. According to the drafts, 1,046 additional administrative positions are planned for implementation, with annual personnel costs of around 74 million euros. According to Boeminghaus, the new taxes would also create a permanent administrative burden in addition to additional costs. He cited WELT as the source. https://t.co/AQOzmB0o5r #Steuern #Deutschland #Bürokratie (translated)

Rebel Radio introduced a sugar tax, an increase in alcohol and tobacco taxes, a plastic tax, the continuation of the national CO₂ price, and support for ETS II as examples.

The Union and SPD are planning a new plastic tax of 550 euros per tonne, which is set to apply from July 2027 for plastic packaging with a plastic content of more than five percent, in order to reduce consumption and generate household funds, while industry associations criticize the rapid implementation without sufficient consultation. #Plastiksteuer #Umweltschutz #Kunststoffverpackungen (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)

The author wrote that the Black-Red coalition plans to introduce an additional levy on plastic packaging after the sugar tax is implemented in mid-2027, which will impose further burdens on citizens.

Joana Cotar wrote that the federal government intends to introduce a tax on plastic packaging by July 1, 2027. Affected are plastic packaging and films as well as composite packaging with a plastic content of more than 5 percent, she explained. Cotar criticized that the CDU and Friedrich Merz had stated during the election campaign that Germany had a spending problem rather than a revenue problem and that taxes were high enough. The justification for generating additional revenue for the federal budget with the tax, in her opinion, shows that environmental protection is not the priority. In conclusion, she dismissed the plan with a vulgar remark reminiscent of Elon Musk. #Plastiksteuer #Umweltschutz #Bundesregierung (translated)
