Reduction in Gastro Tax Not Linked to Schnitzel Price Drop in Ingolstadt
In the city of Ingolstadt, home to approximately 2,260 gastronomy staff and 320 establishments, the head of the NGG Upper Palatinate, Rainer Reißfelder, has expressed skepticism about the planned 12% reduction in the gastronomy tax.
Reißfelder, along with the NGG Union, is advocating for fair wage agreements instead of tax benefits for gastronomers. The union cites figures from the employment agency to support their stance.
In a bid to promote fair labor practices, the NGG Union strongly encourages guests to help ensure these agreements are upheld by requesting the fair wage agreement certificate when visiting establishments. This certificate serves as proof that the business complies with the agreed-upon fair wages for their employees.
Reißfelder urges guests to remember the prices of individual dishes and to ask innkeepers or restaurant managers in January if the prices have changed, as he does not expect gastronomy businesses to lower their prices, even with the tax reduction.
He suggests that guests should actively and systematically ask where the 12% tax reduction went, specifically to the staff in the kitchen and service. Reißfelder believes that moral gastronomic pressure from guests could prevent innkeepers from keeping the entire 12% tax reduction as a take-home bonus.
The black-red federal government plans to reduce the gastronomy tax by 12% at the turn of the year. However, Reißfelder does not believe that this reduction will lead to cheaper food in inns and restaurants in Ingolstadt. Instead, he encourages guests to encourage fair wages for the hardworking staff in the city's gastronomy sector.
The NGG Union continues to advocate for fair wage agreements in the gastronomy industry, urging guests to play a role in maintaining wage fairness by specifically choosing venues that have the fair wage agreement certificate. This approach helps protect workers in the hospitality sector and ensures a fair and equitable industry for all.
