The finance ministry has just published its latest tax revenue estimates showing further falls of € 1.4 bn in 2004 and of € 3.4 bn in 2005. The drop was particularly noticeable with the mineral oil tax (the high cost of petrol is pushing people off the roads) and with the tobacco tax (recent hikes seem to have reduced smoking), but was partly compensated by increases in trade and corporation tax revenue.
