German Court Decides Coffee And Pastry Are Not Breakfast

Here we go again with Big Government overstepping their end and perplexing to tell people how to live their lives. And what is and isn’t breakfast. According to The Local, a German justice has motionless that coffee and bread doesn’t consecrate breakfast, even yet it really clearly is.

Like with all infringements on a rights by The Man, this official overreach is all about money, some-more privately taxation money. A Münster taxation justice ruled that, in sequence for coffee and a bread hurl to be deliberate breakfast, it contingency be served with cold cuts, cheese, or a spreadable of some kind. Which don’t get me wrong, a good jam is a poetic further though is in no approach a determining cause of what is and isn’t breakfast.

The box in doubt revolves around a program association that would daily yield a around 80 employees with coffee and bread rolls in a office’s canteen area. Well a Tax Man saw this and claimed it to be a “free sustenance of a dish to a worker in a form of a breakfast,” and they wanted a cut. The taxation bureau wanted an additional “€1.50 to €1.57 per worker per day, backdated to cover a duration from from Dec 2008 to Dec 2011.”

Luckily, in some Faustian twist, a courts motionless that coffee and a bagel or whatever isn’t breakfast so therefore a program association didn’t owe additional taxes. So while we determine with a decision, we can’t assistance though ask, “at what cost?” According to a German courts, we haven’t had breakfast in years (and many lunches). But afterwards how am we even still alive, huh Germany?

Can’t we all only determine that companies shouldn’t have to compensate additional taxes for giving out coffee and pastries? No? Why not? Sound off in a comments below.
