WION Climate Tracker | Germany imposes winter gas tax despite concerns

The global energy crisis has led the German government to impose a new gas tax on households. The increased rates will be effective from October 1st and last till April 2024. Under the new levy, an average family of four is expected to pay almost $500 more per year and businesses will also be subjected to these new charges.
