- The German Ministry of Finance released a draft of the Tax Amendment Act 2025, proposing tax relief measures for individuals and technical amendments. Key points include a permanent 7% VAT rate on food in restaurants and bars from January 2026, increased deductions for commuters, higher tax exemptions for part-time trainers and volunteers, a raised threshold for nontaxable activities by charitable entities, recognition of photovoltaic systems as non-harmful for charitable purposes, and the introduction of e-sports as a charitable purpose. The draft will proceed to the legislative process once approved by the governing coalition.
