- The proposed tax-free relief bonus of up to 1000 euros for employees is temporarily halted by the Federal Council's veto.
- The bill allows payments until June 30, 2027, aiming to ease economic impacts from the Iran war.
- States and municipalities oppose bearing two-thirds of the tax shortfall while only the federal government benefits from the tobacco tax hike.
- The federal government may call the mediation committee to resolve the contentious cost distribution issue.
The costs will then end up with the states and municipalities.— Winfried Kretschmann (Greens), Minister President of Baden-Württemberg, during the Bundesrat plenary debate.
