With the Inflation Compensation Act, which comes into force on January 1, 2023, the effect of the so-called cold progression is to be compensated.

"Cold progression" means the additional income tax revenue that has come about from increased wages as a result of inflation.

The wage increases to compensate for inflation actually reach the citizens, and unwanted tax burdens are avoided.

The measure is part of the federal government's relief package.

Among other things, as part of the Inflation Compensation Act, the basic tax allowance will be increased and the benchmark values ​​for tax rates will be shifted.

2023 Changes for drivers: Reduced subsidies for e-cars

If you are thinking about a new car, it might be better to sign the purchase contract in 2022.

The subsidy for plug-in hybrids is completely eliminated.

Subsidies for e-cars will also be reduced.

Funding is only available to private individuals.

From formerly 6000 euros only 4500 euros are granted.

However, this only applies to a list price of up to 40,000 euros.

Up to a list price of 65,000 euros, there are 3,000 instead of 5,000 euros.

And another change for motorists in 2023: Many men and women will have to exchange their driving licenses in 2023.

Change from January 1, 2023: EEG surcharge will be dropped

Produce and use your own electricity – this is possible with a solar system on the roof.

With the 2023 changes, this will now be significantly improved.

Because: From January 1, 2023, the EEG surcharge will be completely eliminated as part of the Energy Financing Act that comes into force.

For consumers, this means that anyone who owns a photovoltaic system and produces and sells electricity can now bill them much more easily than before.

The consumer advice center writes: “Due to the complete cancellation of the EEG surcharge, the generation meter in some existing PV systems can be omitted from 2023.

Generation meters that have been rented from the grid operator can probably be expanded.

Billing when selling electricity is significantly simplified by eliminating the EEG surcharge.”

For new photovoltaic systems that go into operation from January 1, 2023, the technical requirement that only a maximum of 70 percent of the nominal PV power may be fed into the public grid will also be abolished.

Systems that do not exceed a maximum output of 30 kWp are also exempt from income and trade tax.

The old limit was 10 kWp.

Delivery services such as Lieferando, but also the pizza delivery service next door, must offer reusable packaging from 2023.

The packaging may be taken as a deposit.

Food may be more expensive in reusable packaging than in disposable packaging.

This also applies to the majority of restaurateurs who offer out-of-home sales.

This also includes fast food providers such as McDonalds, Burger King and KFC.

The aim is to reduce the consumption of to-go packaging.

New EU law from 2023: Right to repairs for electrical appliances

In the course of the changes in 2023, the right to repair will also be exciting.

The new EU law is scheduled to come into force in 2023.

As the EU Parliament announced, according to a survey, 77 percent of EU citizens would rather repair electrical appliances than buy a new one.

Therefore, devices should now be produced in such a way that they last longer, can be repaired safely and the parts can be easily replaced.

This is intended to extend the life cycle of electronic devices.

Whether smartphones, laptops or tablets - they all currently have very little interchangeable hardware.

Changes for holidaymakers in 2023: In Croatia, the euro will become the official currency

Changes for vacationers should not be missing in 2023 either.

Because holidays on the Mediterranean coast will be even easier in the future.

From January 1st, the official currency in Croatia is the euro.
