Germany's Tax Experts Committee said on Thursday it now expects overall tax
receipts for 2026–2030 to be €43.4bn higher than its May forecast (about
$48.6bn). It estimates the federal government's share will rise by €3.3bn over
the five years. The committee projects total government revenue of €997.9bn in
2026 and expects federal tax receipts in 2027 to be €4.1bn above the May
forecast; that 2027 estimate excludes planned tax cuts because parliament has
not approved them. Finance Minister said despite international uncertainty tax
revenue should grow steadily in 2026, and while 2027 will offer no new fiscal
leeway it also creates no new shortfall.
