One thing is clear: it won’t be cheaper if you want to eat out in 2024. Because the VAT on food is now 19 percent again instead of seven. And even if the tax increase is unlikely to lead to the complete collapse of the German catering industry, which some association representatives have already painted on the wall, business will not get any easier for innkeepers and other restaurateurs, and the ways of dealing with the increase in prices are quite different . There will probably be some experimentation going on for a while.
