Germany's Habeck: Energy aid to be taxed for individuals with annual income from around €75,000

Germany’s Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Tuesday that they will implement the gas price cap as closely as possible to the expert commission's proposal, as reported by Reuters.

"The European Union's aid requirements make one-to-one implementation impossible on individual points," Habeck further noted and added that the energy aid should be taxed for individuals with an annual income from around 75,000 euros.
