SPY•Germany’s tax experts expect €43.4 billion more in total tax revenue over 2026–2030 than forecast in May, including €3.3 billion more for the federal government. They project total government tax revenue of €997.9 billion in 2026.
1. Higher revenue forecast
Germany’s council of tax experts expects €43.4 billion more in tax revenue for the state as a whole over 2026 to 2030 than it forecast in May. The panel expects an additional €3.3 billion for the federal government over the five-year period and total government tax revenue of €997.9 billion in 2026.
2. Federal outlook
The panel forecasts 2027 federal tax revenue will be €4.1 billion higher than its May estimate. The estimate does not include planned tax relief measures, which parliament has not yet approved. Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil said there would be no new fiscal room for manoeuvre in 2027, but also no new gaps to close.
