The German federal government promised to provide more financial support to the states for hospitals. However, this additional funding is planned to be covered from another tax category.
The said revenue increase is aimed to be generated through a higher-than-expected hike in tobacco tax. Thus, it is aimed to close the deficit that the support to be transferred to hospitals will create in the budget.
This change in tax policy brings to the agenda the balance between the financing of the healthcare system and tax regulations in Germany. Detailed implementation steps are expected to be clarified in the upcoming period.
