AI MODIFIEDTVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Plastic Tax: Union and SPD Present Draft Law.
Union and SPD are presenting a draft law for a new tax on plastic – it is to target companies that put packaging into circulation. Business associations are already sharply criticizing the plans. Consumers could ultimately feel the impact at the checkout.
Plastic Tax: Coalition Wants to Cut Consumption and Fill Budget
As Tagesschau and Handelsblatt report in agreement, the coalition is pursuing two goals with the draft: to reduce plastic consumption and at the same time tap new revenue for the federal budget. Handelsblatt writes that the federal government is desperately seeking revenue sources in times of tight coffers – a tax on plastic packaging could bring the state billions.
Business Warns of Burden
Business associations see it differently. They warn of additional burdens on companies – and expect rising prices for end customers. The Bundestag and Bundesrat must now deliberate on the draft. The Tagesspiegel editorial team (zeit.de) is also picking up the draft law along the same lines and confirming the plans of the coalition factions.
