Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

And what does that have to do with the new method of calculation?
The multiplier can also be adjusted like this …

Yes, and? Employees' wages are rising, they also have energy costs, all the federal benefits like [Ganztagsbetreuung] etc. cost money. I'm more surprised why the [Hebesätze] haven't already exploded in the last 2 years. Somehow, the money has to come from somewhere.

Municipalities in Germany generated around 70.2 billion euros in revenue from trade tax in 2022. This represents an increase of around 9.1 billion euros or 14.9% compared to the previous year, according to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis). Thus, a new record in trade tax revenues was also achieved in 2022.

The increase in the assessment rates? Somehow that doesn’t seem to fit together.

Is the boxwood still babbling about his "end-of-the-world-through-property-tax-amendment" conspiracy? Oh man, he really could come up with something new, something realistic, flat earth or chemtrails or something. By the way, it has absolutely nothing to do with construction costs. Of course, a "house" in the USA only costs me a fraction of a house in Germany. There they just build livable garden sheds, here we build houses. You get what you pay for.

What are these comparisons supposed to mean? Just because a company makes 20% more revenue doesn't mean it also makes more profit

...or rather 14.9% compared to the previous year...

And the increase in the assessment rates? Somehow that doesn't add up.

Ah yes, you know how it is: If a company makes 20% more revenue, that means 20% more profit.

Are you aware that municipalities also have increased costs?

Whatever, if you're looking for a problem, you'll find it. Emigrate if you haven't already and don't think about Germany anymore. Have fun and success!

By the way, it has absolutely nothing to do with the construction costs.

The tax aspect of a real estate investment has nothing to do with the construction costs? Where do you live?
