As of 9 AM today, the 'relief' for German gas prices has been released.
If you didn't know....there are two taxes applied to German gas prices. One is the VAT/sales tax, and the other is the energy tax.
The relief? From the energy tax (NOT the VAT)....17-Euro-Cents will be cut....for two months.
So if you bought a liter yesterday for 2.10 Euro....then the new price would be1.93 Euro (still hefty....about 20-cents above the norm).
What happens in six-to-eight weeks? Well...if the 'war' is still screwing up the pricing....more talks will occur, and I would imagine it'll go for a second two-month period.
Still to be grumbling? Oh yeah. Who will get the blame for the grumbling? Mostly Merz, the CDU, and the SPD.
