Municipal game tax as a cost tax: constitutional validity under Art. 105(2a) GG
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Federal Administrative Court permitted the taxpayer's appeal and authorized the subsequent revision to the same court, ruling that the matter has fundamental legal significance. The case concerns a dispute over the validity of a municipal game tax (Jagdsteuer), where the plaintiff challenged the levy as a cost tax (Aufwandsteuer). The decisive legal issue is whether a municipality may impose a game tax as a cost tax under Article 105(2a) of the German Basic Law, a question the Supreme Court will now address to clarify the constitutional constraints on local tax competences.
