ChatGPT in Germany in 2027
Yesterday France announced tax of €0.055 per GB on internet traffic
Today Germany is considering taxing all AI-generated revenue
You will see European countries keep clawing more and more money from foreign companies as they are slowly running out of money themselves to pay for their pensions and welfare state
Add to this the planned wealth taxes and exit taxes on any European who will try to leave (already active in many EU countries)
Europe is running out of money
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post inaccurately claims France "announced" a data tax; it was a narrow 11-10 vote on a budget amendment in a near-empty chamber, opposed by the government and far from law. German AI tax ideas remain unadopted ministerial discussions without formal proposals.
