Dittrich suggests that the government should exempt the first 1,000 euros of wages from taxes and contributions during May, June, or July, allowing employees to retain more net income. This proposal comes as the Bundestag has paved the way for tax-free relief bonuses of up to 1,000 euros, aimed at alleviating economic pressures exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in Iran. The Bundesrat’s approval is anticipated on May 8.
