Abstract: In Germany, the small federal excise taxes were abolished in 1993, when the European internal market started. The only exception is the coffee tax. The noteworthy fact is that the German coffee industry explicitly supported the maintenance of the coffee tax. In this paper, the discussion on the coffee tax is summarized and the possibility of a profit-raising excise tax is shown by means of a model of an oligopoly with differentiated products.
