Just wondering what pay rises in German this year are like.
Does the increase in VAT effect payrises.
What would be a good pay rise for 2007 in Germany.
I would like 3% to compensate for the increase in VAT, is this realistic ???

3% is basically inflation, so that is just a normal pay rise really. Keeps you on the same level as before.

The point of increasing
MwSt
was to make the government richer by making you poorer.
There will be NO increases to pay due due to the ncrease in MwSt.
