In their agreement on the CDU/CSU and SPD coalition, they agreed to reduce electricity tax “for all” as quickly as possible. Last week, however, the federal government decided to reduce electricity tax only for production trade, agriculture and forestry.
Then there were claims in the trade union, which also include individuals. However, 5.4 billion euros will be necessary in 2026. Obviously, the coalition partners did not find the opportunity to finance it on Wednesday.
In addition to a reduction in electricity tax for production trade and agricultural and forestry in the energy sector, the decision -making document again refers to other measures that are also approved, some of which also benefit private consumers. We are talking about the planned cancellation of gas collection and partial absorption of the transfer fee.
Agree with mother pension
“With annual influence, this is a relief of about ten billion euros for consumers and the economy,” the coalition says. This means that “all consumers, private households and families have already been released up to three cents per kilowatt -hour. For a family of four, this means relief up to 100 euros per year. ”
Meanwhile, the top of the black -red coalition may report that the expansion of the mother’s pension for children born before 1992 should be applied from 2027 and, therefore, a year earlier than previously planned. “If technical implementation is possible only in a later moment, the mother’s pension will be paid retrospectively,” the coalition committee will say in the tripartite document. Parents from children born before 1992 are taken into account for three and a half years of raising children.
CSU, obviously, prevailed with his demand. The first project of the Minister of Labor and Leader Co -spd Bärbel Bas for the Pension Package only provided the entry into force in 2028. This was justified by the fact that German pension insurance took time to adapt their computer programs and overestimate about ten million pensions. On a pension of mother for children born before 1992, a monthly pension for a child increases by about 20 euros.
The expenses for this should be funded from the federal budget at about five billion euros per year. The preferred efficiency of 2027 increases billions of gaps in financial planning of the Minister of Finance Lars Cleanbeal (SPD). Together in 2027 and 2028, the pit is about 78 billion euros.
