Finance Minister is planning a new tax: Alert willing companies!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On March 6, 2025, a planned tax project by Finance Minister Markus Marterbauer (SPÖ) will cause excitement in the Austrian energy sector. The introduction of a new “energy management contribution” and the tightening of the existing energy crisis contribution for electricity, oil and gas companies could result in massive financial burdens for the companies concerned, such as the Kleine Zeitung .

An email from the Ministry of Government Members contains the draft laws that are already intended for a discussion in the budget committee. Critics within the government coalition, including the Vienna SPÖ and the ÖVP, express concerns and see the need for a detailed debate about these measures. Time is urged, because according to the schedule, the law is to be passed in the National Council this week.
