Before the war in Ukraine, federal and state tax revenues had recovered from the Corona low.
Berlin – As can be seen from the monthly report of the Ministry of Finance, the volume in January and February was 18.7 percent higher than in the same period of 2021. However, it is to be expected that this trend will not continue at the same time as a result of the war and the slump in sales in the economy dimensions continues. In February, revenue was up 15.5 percent from a year ago, according to the report. Sales tax, wage tax, income tax and profit tax in particular increased noticeably. Above all, this reflects the improved situation on the labor market with significantly less short-time work. There was also a clear increase in the air traffic tax after the Corona low. (dpa)
