Oppose a windfall tax on oil and gas companies amid high fuel prices
Official title: No windfall tax, tackle high fuel prices with targeted measures (AfD)
Rejected
Proposal summary
The federal government should not introduce a windfall tax on the profits of oil and gas companies and should also oppose such an instrument at EU level. The background is sharply rising fuel prices, triggered in part by a conflict in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, the argument is that around 60 percent of the fuel price already consists of taxes and levies, making the state the biggest beneficiary. A windfall tax is also said to be difficult to define clearly and would slow investment in energy supply.
