Guest article in InfrastrukturRecht: Inability to charge the water concession levy

On 09.10.2024 (9 B 5.24), the BVerwG dismissed the appeal of the City of Kassel against the non-admission of the appeal in the judgment of the VGH Kassel of 30.11.2023 (5 A 1290/21). According to this ruling by the VGH Kassel, the water concession levy may not form part of the water charges. These decisions have significant legal and economic implications for local authorities.

KPMG Law Expert Isabelle König reports more on this in the guest article in IR.

“The now legally binding reasoning of the VGH Kassel, which is independent of the legal form, results in great legal uncertainty for the municipalities.”

You can find the full article in the February issue of IR (PayWall).
