T\u00fcbingen's unilateral attempt to introduce a packaging tax has failed in court. Today, the German Packaging Institute dvi welcomes the judges' decision. Taxes only create additional burdens. Instead of passing them on, problems should be solved.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

T\u00fcbingen's controversial packaging tax has been overturned. In a judicial review procedure, the judges of the Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg Administrative Court (VGH) declared the city's statutes on this tax invalid.\u00a0<\/p>

The owner of the McDonald's branch in T\u00fcbingen had filed a lawsuit. In her opinion, the local excise duty of 50 cents per disposable drinks container, disposable tableware and disposable food packaging and 20 cents for each disposable cutlery set, which has been levied since the beginning of the year, is contrary to federal waste legislation. The plaintiff had argued that it was already paying licence fees for its participation in the dual system for the packaging placed on the market. The VGH has now probably followed this view.<\/span><\/p>
