Was soll der Kack? Da geht viel mehr, ich fordere: - Fleischsteuer auf vegane Schnitzel. - Tabaksteuer auf Kaugummizigaretten - CO₂-Steuer auf E-Autos. - Erbschaftsteuer auf Monopoly-Geld. Habt ihr noch Ideen, damit unsere Regierung sich endlich eine neue Gehaltserhöhung leisten kann? #Steuerreform #Politik #Satire
Je možné, aby ta Tabak byla tak reálně tupá!?🫣 Ona se pohoršuje, že v dětské knížce o mořských konících píší, že tatínkové přivedou děti na svět. Takže všechny knížky vykoupila (viděla jsem teda jen tři) a teatrálně je hodila do koše, aby se nedostaly dětem do rukou.😆😂 https://t.co/4JYdi0GuTn #knihy #humor #kritika
Warum erheben wir noch keine Tabaksteuer auf Schnaps? Schnaps ist nämlich genauso schädlich wie Tabak. Ich beginne langsam die Logik unserer Bundesregierung zu verstehen. #Tabaksteuer #Schnaps #Gesundheit

Interessante Entwicklung bei der Tabaksteuer nach der Erhöhung zum 1.1.2026. Das Bundesfinanzministerium schätzt die Tabaksteuereinnahmen für das gesamte Jahr 2026 auf rund 16,89 Mrd. €. Das wäre ein Rückgang um etwa –4,2 % gegenüber den 17,63 Mrd. € des Jahres 2025. #Tabaksteuer #Steuern #Bundesfinanzministerium
Jaarlijks loopt de staat vele miljarden mis door de hoge belastingen op tabak. @frederikfvd diende een voorstel in dat goed zou zijn voor de financiën van burgers, ondernemers én de overheid. Gevestigde partijen lieten zich leiden door emoties, niet door de cijfers. ⬇️ https://t.co/dD8JB4hPFI #belasting #tabak #financiën

Steuererhöhungen ab 2027: - Beitragsbemessungsgrenze steigt - Rentenbeiträge steigen - Kostenlose Mitversicherung für Ehepartner fällt weg - Alkoholsteuer steigt - Tabaksteuer steigt - Spitzensteuersatz steigt - Kalte Progression wird nicht ausgeglichen - Minijobs werden sozialversicherungspflichtig - Steuervorteil für Mitarbeiterrabatt wird gestrichen Die Zitrone ist offenbar doch noch nicht „ausgequetscht“. #Steuern #Renten #Politik
