Tax investigators uncovered around 61.4 million euros in evaded taxes in Saxony last year. This is the amount of the 2025 final judgments and penalty orders in local criminal tax proceedings, as the Ministry of Finance reported in response to a minor question from Susanne Schaper (Left Party), a member of the state parliament.
How much of the unpaid money was recovered is therefore not recorded. A total of 1,319 proceedings were completed. Of these, 250 ended in penalty orders or sentences, while 629 were discontinued subject to conditions, such as the payment of tax debts. The total tax revenue in Saxony is stated at just under 24 billion euros.
