A new deficit has emerged in the federal budget in Germany because more public funds had to be transferred to health insurance funds than initially planned. The Christian Union (CDU/CSU) and Social Democratic Party (SPD) coalition is proposing an additional increase in tobacco tax to close this budget deficit.
According to the draft obtained by RND, the tax burden per pack of cigarettes will be gradually increased. Within the framework of the targeted plan, a pack of cigarettes is expected to reach approximately 12 euros by 2030. Thus, it is aimed for the resulting additional income to become an important tool in closing the budget deficit.
