Berlin Good news for the traffic light coalition members of the SPD, Greens and FDP: The state can count on substantial additional tax revenues in the next few years. Due to the expected strong economic upswing, the federal, state and local governments are likely to have around 160 billion euros more in taxpayers’ money available between 2021 and 2025 than previously planned.
