German Government Revises Tax Hikes for Farmers Amid Protests

Despite concessions, German Farmers' Association demands complete withdrawal of proposed cuts.

The German government has partially backtracked on proposed tax hikes for farmers, following widespread protests.
The tax privileges for farmers will be phased out gradually over multiple years, rather than being cut abruptly as initially proposed.
The government also plans to waive the planned tax increases for agricultural vehicles.
Despite these concessions, the German Farmers' Association remains dissatisfied, insisting that both proposals for cuts must be completely withdrawn.
The government plans to compensate for the latest change to its budget plan partly by using revenue from offshore wind tenders.
