The Black Book of the Association of German Taxpayers reveals tax sins in Hesse, including a case from the Giessen district.

The Black Book of the Association of German Taxpayers reveals tax sins in Hesse, including a case from the Giessen district.

According to a report in the Gießener Allgemeine, the German Taxpayers' Association has published its black book for 2023. The Black Book contains eleven cases from Hesse, including one case from the Giessen district. The book shows how tax money is wasted and is intended to help prevent such cases in the future. An example from Frankfurt is the canceled Eintracht party after the DFB Cup final against RB Leipzig. Although the celebration did not take place, costs amounted to 850,000 euros, of which Eintracht only contributed 350,000 euros. Another case from the Giessen district concerns the construction of a daycare center in Lich, where the helipad of a private hospital was neglected. This could cost taxpayers €580,000. Another example is a free shuttle bus service in Wetzlar that was discontinued after three months and cost taxpayers 40,000 euros.

These cases show how taxpayers' money can be wasted in various areas. The impact of this can be both financial and image-related. In the case of the canceled Eintracht party in Frankfurt, the high costs could put a strain on the cash-strapped city coffers and negatively impact the city's image. In the case of the construction of the daycare center in Lich, neglect of the helipad could lead to legal disputes and further worsen the city's financial situation. The case of the free shuttle bus service in Wetzlar shows that a lack of needs analysis and lack of damage control measures can lead to unnecessary expenses.

The cases listed in the Black Book show that it is important to use tax money responsibly and efficiently. Good planning and implementation of projects can help avoid such waste and maintain taxpayer trust. It is therefore important that the responsible authorities and institutions analyze the cases in the Black Book in order to learn lessons and improve their processes and decision-making.

Overall, such cases of tax waste can have negative effects on the financial market and the financial industry. If tax money is wasted, it can lead to a loss of trust among taxpayers. This, in turn, could lead to a decrease in tax revenues and thus have an impact on the market. In addition, public institutions and authorities responsible for such waste could face financial sanctions or other consequences.

It remains to be seen how the authorities and institutions will respond to the cases listed in the Black Book and what measures they will take to avoid future waste of taxpayers' money.
