German average levying rate of the commercial tax climbed up to 390 percent, having thus brought in approximately 35.7 billion euros worth of tax revenues in 2010, up by 3 percent and 10.1 percent over the previous year, respectively, according to a report by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) released on Wednesday.
The report also showed that the German estate tax created some 0.4 billion euros worth of revenue in 2010, added by 1.5 percent over 2009, while the property tax rate up by 9 percent to 410 percent, from which the revenues were generated amounted to 11 billion euros, 3.5 percent more than that in 2009.
