Trouble for tourist tax: court judges against Fuhlendorf, the dispute continues!

Fuhlendorf, Deutschland - The discussion about the tourist tax on the Baltic Sea in the municipality of Fuhlendorf is always more specific. In a legal dispute that questions the trust and transparency of local politics, René Kröger, a 40-year-old municipal council and landlord of Baltic Sea apartments, successfully sued the considerable tourist tax of two euros per capita. This reportsderwesten.de.

The Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Higher Administrative Court decided that the survey of the tourist tax in Fuhlendorf was unlawful. The court resolutions are based on that of a statute of the municipality that did not meet the legal requirements. This means that the municipality was not entitled to request this amount of vacationers, visit the Fuhlendorf. René Kröger had made the lawsuit in order to disclose the lack of legal foundation of the tourist tax.

Request transparency

Kröger vehemently criticizes the problem that many parish meetings take place behind closed doors. It demands more transparency in local politics to give citizens better insights into the decision -making processes. "It cannot be that important decisions are made in silence," said Kröger. However, the authority is still active and tries to collect the non -collected tourist tax of around 50 euros from the citizens concerned with the help of enforcement commands.

Kröger put these claims into a difficult situation. He sees himself harassed by the municipality and refuses to collect the unfairly demanded tourist tax from his guests. "The verdict gives us tailwind, but the dispute has not yet ended," he explains. The possibility of making a retrospective correction of the statutes allows the municipality to continue to raise the tourist tax as soon as the necessary changes are implemented.

View of the future

The case has triggered a broader discussion about the legality of tourist tax in coastal regions. While municipalities such as Pruchen and Hall are also affected by this regulation, they now have to deal with the effects of the judgment. It remains to be seen how the municipality of Fuhlendorf reacts to the judicial orders and whether it is willing to rethink her handling of the tourist tax.

The situation remains tense and shows that confidence in the municipal administration is at stake in risky times.moin.deAlso reports that the dispute over the tourist tax in Fuhlendorf has by no means come to an end, whereby questions of transparency and fairness will continue to focus.
