From January 2014 Property Sales Tax in Berlin up by 1%

Properties in Berlin

It is official now: Last Tuesday the Berlin City Government (Senat) has passed the increase of the property sales tax from 5% to 6% of the purchase price. It is expected that it will pass the city parliament (Abgeordnetenhaus) as the coalition gavernment has a majority there. The last raise from 4.5% to 5% was only in 2012.

The declared purpose is to improve Berlin's disasterous debt position. We had posted up front information in June when the plans transpired.
