Employees, the self-employed people, and traders will receive a one-off lump sum of up to 300 euros in 2022 to compensate for rising energy costs. The Bundesrat and Bundestag decided the so-called energy price flat rate (EPP) as part of the second financial relief package for people in Germany. Regular salaried workers receive the amount together with their pay slips via their employer. For the self-employed, the income tax payment will be reduced once. However, the payment of the lump sum will be taxed. Therefore, the amount may vary. Only those who earn less than the basic tax-free average of 10,347 euros for the entire year do not have to pay taxes and receive the entire 300 euros.
