One reason is likely to be the increase in tobacco tax on January 1, 2022, the statisticians explained. The tobacco industry association BVTE spoke of cigarette sales at a...
from Andreas JalsovecIn Free State, the clocks tick a little differently: Bavaria is the only federal state that has surprisingly extended the deadline for submitting property tax returns.
