Schwerin (dpa / mv) - The parties in the Schwerin government coalition have different views on the reduction in value added tax on gas announced by the federal government. "It takes a good deal of audacity to sell the reduction in VAT on the gas levy as great support," said Daniel Seiffert, spokesman for energy policy for the Left Party, on Friday in Schwerin. Instead of a reduction in VAT and a gas levy, he called for an excess profit tax and an energy price cap.
The SPD, on the other hand, sees the combination as successful: "This is real help in view of the rising energy prices, which goes directly to the people and also to the economy in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania," says Falko Beitz, energy policy spokesman in the state parliament of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. Western Pomerania.
