A Zeiss spokesperson said the company regularly reviews large projects and adjusted the ERP migration to speed the transition and better meet business unit needs.

Germany considers scrapping 12-month crypto tax exemption rule

The German government is pushing a plan to scrap the current system under which gains from selling cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin are generally tax-free if held for more than 1 year. A draft law from the Federal Ministry of Finance would impose a flat 25 percent tax on gains regardless of holding period, applying to crypto assets acquired after Jan. 1, 2027. Transitional measures would preserve the existing rule for assets acquired by Dec. 31 this year.
