Commuters in Germany now with 50 cent relieve Germany’s new online Automobile Club calls for a fundamental revision of the commuter tax allowance, which goes hand in hand with a significant relief of workers and motorists: we request the increase of the commuter tax allowance of 30 to 50 cents per kilometre of distance, from the first kilometre. This makes easier the data model and the professionals who depend on your vehicle to make sure your existence, have a clear calculation basis,”as Dr. Michael HABERLAND 1st Chairman of Mobil in Germany e.V. There are some good arguments, to regulate the commuter lump sum: 2004 cut the commuter lump sum was carried out by Red/Green Government, which has until now stock. Also are since then fuel prices increased, as well as a further tax, eco-tax on petrol and diesel by 15.4 cents per litre charged with was with the current regime are not even the real costs absorbed, which are between 35 and 45 cents per driven km depending on the vehicle. The 30 cents” Computing model, followed by the Minister until today, is definitely out of the last century and has served nearly two-thirds of all German workers use almost every day the car, to get to their workplace. This number is unchanged for years. What has changed but is the length of the routes.
More and more workers take more routes in order to get into the work. That takes more time and money. The economy hums, the Finance Minister can count on revenue many billion euros at the end of the year, which have earned him 36 million workers and 22 million commuters in Germany all figures are likely to be well known even in the Federal Ministry of finance. Most of them come from in-house, or by the Federal Statistical Office. Finance Minister Schauble’s unabruckbare attitude is therefore completely incomprehensible to us.
While strictly refuses to accommodate the commuters and motorists in Germany only in the approach applies on EU level generous lending with an absolute risk. Greece gets billions not even a few million to secure families and professional treat yourself from Germany, own motorists. Since you must wonder already, what interests the Finance Minister! It is not about rides, but spending to the safety of the workplace. Who has no working from home must just the rides home workplace”in purchase. That should be really fun for any of the 22 million auto commuters. It is high time that that something is changing, that also a relief follows a constant load of commuters. It is time to give motorists and commuters. Mobile in Germany e.V. therefore the Finance Minister urges, to regulate the commuter lump sum and to grant the commuters from the first kilometre 50 cents per kilometre. This requirement applies for the commuter lump sum (distance km), as well as for the travel expenses (total distance). Mobil has summarized his proposals in a letter in Germany e.V. and get the Finance Minister. We are a Automobile Club, the proposals would like to and would like to suggest the political discussion”so Dr. Michael HABERLAND, 1st Chairman of Mobil in Germany e.V.. It is high time that it comes here quickly to a new regulation.” Both will be online writing to the Minister, as the Minister’s hopefully speedy response under for inspection.
