Procedure details
Description
The owners or authorized users of vineyard areas are liable to pay the levy if these cover more than 10 ares (= 1000 square meters). The levy amounts to EUR 1.75 per acre of the vineyard area of a farm shown as planted in the vineyard register.
As the levy is collected on the basis of the information in the vineyard register, it is particularly important that changes in cultivation are reported in full and in good time by 31 May of each year (see FNN area and use certificate). The levy collected in the current calendar year is generally intended to promote the sale of products obtained from the previous year's harvest.
The obligation to pay the levy therefore relates to the area under vines registered in the vineyard register at the time of harvest in the previous year. For example, the area under vines at the time of the 2018 harvest is decisive for the levy charged in 2019.
The levy is used to support measures to promote wine from Bavaria, in particular general public relations work, market research activities and the organization of trade fairs and exhibitions as well as participation in these.
In general, such sales promotion measures may only be carried out outside the specific wine-growing regions of Bavaria (Franconia and Württemberg, Bayer. Bodensee) in order to open up new sales markets and avoid distortions of competition within the European Union. Applications for funding from the Bavarian Wine Fund levy should be addressed to the Bavarian State Institute for Viticulture and Horticulture, Veitshöchheim.
Requirements
Right to use vineyard areas if these cover more than 10 ares (= 1000 square meters).
