English Translation

- The motor vehicle tax will therefore first of all have a fiscal impact, which will be all the more palpable as the former motor vehicle duty was included in the prices of fuels. In order to avoid double taxation, the conversion of the Reichsdeutsche tax from the Reich - mark - to the Kronen-currency should not be carried out in the ratio l : lo, but in the proportion l : 6. At the same time, the price of fuels should also be reduced by 8o Heller per litre, in order to compensate for the difference between our and the Reich German prices. At the same time, we have already negotiated with the relevant ministries about another draft government regulation, according to which the traffic tax is to be introduced with us. The tax amounts to 2% of the fare in the local - bus traffic, 12%. for the bus long-distance traffic. In the case of unreliable bus mass transport, the tax is 2 halves per person and per kilometre used. For lorries, without distinction as to whether they are commercial or retail, the rate is 4 halfes. for the tunokm used. However, this rate is paid only for long-distance transport, i.e. for journeys of more than 5 km.
