Hat das Senken der Verbrauchssteuern keinen Einfluss auf die Inflation? Erhöhen die Unternehmen die Preise, sobald ich die Verbrauchssteuern senke?

Does reduction of consumption taxes not affect inflation? Do companies raise prices as soon as I reduce the consumption taxes?
Of course the consumption taxes influence inflation. Maybe other effects were stronger in your state at the time.
Ok. Irre
Increasing consumption taxes will reduce long-term inflation by discouraging personal consumption and rewarding personal savings. A reduction in consumption taxes will lower short-term inflation and spur long-term inflation as individuals adjust to cheaper prices for goods and services. A consumption tax has been proven to be better for an economy, as it increases personal savings and curtails long-term inflation. In addition, a consumption tax makes for a more competitive economy as consumption taxes aren’t added to a nation’s exports. However, consumption taxes are regressive because the poor spend a higher percentage of their income than the rich. A person making minimum wage has to spend their entire income to survive. A millionaire, on the other hand, can afford to save $100’s of thousands. The regressive side of the consumption tax can be offset through tax rebates aimed at low-income households.
