The way energy consumption is taxed is in a staffled manner. In the highest staffel the consumer wouldn’t pay any taxes on their top use. The plants thet hit these amounts are for example the reffineries.
It’s not as straight forward as just paying more unfortunately as the rules are so much in favour of big consumers one first needs to change those rules before you have the ground to ask them to pay more.

- hetspookjee 5y agoThat is, how absurd is may sound, entirely correct. I belief on a yearly basis we subsidise about 18B on just big energy consumers.
