BrennpunktUA wrote that the Union should currently avoid headlines suggesting that it is capitulating to Klingbeil. Which tax increase is under discussion is irrelevant; he mentioned tobacco, sugar, and plastic taxes. Instead, he demanded that the Social Democrat save. https://t.co/dTxb66soad #CDU #Steuerpolitik #Union (translated)

The AfD wrote that citizens would be exploited "down to the last shirt" through levies on tobacco, plastic, and wages. It called for an immediate end to what it considers anti-social tax increases, a relief for contributors, and an end to tax wastage abroad. https://t.co/qoTzD2VWso https://t.co/T6VvbUbfCm #Steuerpolitik #SozialeGerechtigkeit #AfD (translated)

"Are the coalition agreement and the agreement from July 2 still our basis for business or not?" CDU representative Lukas Krieger told BILD that two questions needed to be clarified: "Are the coalition agreement and the agreement from July 2 still our basis for business or not?" #Koalitionsausschuss #Rentenreform #Steuerpolitik (translated)

Sparbuchfeinde wrote that one can have different opinions about politics and parties, and topics such as migration and foreign policy are emotional. However, in his view, the AfD has the best tax program in Germany. He listed as its components a uniform tax rate of 22 percent for individuals and companies, as well as a possible municipal surcharge of no more than 3 percent. There are also provisions for allowances of 15,000 euros for adults and 12,000 euros per child, a flat rate for advertising expenses of 2,000 euros, and an automatic adjustment of all allowances to inflation. According to sparbuchfeinde, the program also includes the abolition of the solidarity surcharge and inheritance and gift tax. For the property transfer tax, there should be an exemption for the first-time purchase of owner-occupied property, and otherwise, a limitation of the tax rate to a maximum of 3.5 percent. #Steuerpolitik #AfD #Deutschland (translated)

Roman Reher criticized the planned taxation of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that Lars Klingbeil wanted to change. According to Reher, profits after a holding period of one year would no longer be tax-free. He wrote that there was no understandable reason given for why Bitcoin should be taxed differently than gold. According to Reher, the tax could bring in up to 350 million euros in additional revenue per year. However, the yet-to-be-determined effort for implementation could exceed these revenues, as the change would impose significant administrative burdens on tax offices, states, and companies. Reher also wrote that the tax would relieve high-earning traders, who currently pay their personal income tax rate on sales within a year. In contrast, long-term savers who want to independently save for retirement would be worse off. In his assessment, the media showed little interest in Klingbeil's crypto tax. #Kryptowährungen #Steuerpolitik #Finanzen (translated)

Christian W. Röhl criticized proposals for a sugar and a plastic tax. In his view, they inflated the state apparatus and increased the bureaucratic burden on companies. Instead, he wrote, politics should focus on getting the economy moving again. https://t.co/f51iadRCpE #Wirtschaft #Steuerpolitik #Bürokratie (translated)

"More than 1000 new positions just for two new taxes – this is bureaucratic madness by design. Instead of finally putting expenditures and structures to the test, the government is once again trying to fill budget holes with new taxes. This is the wrong way." Taxpayer President Reiner Holznagel (50) outraged to BILD: "More than 1000 new positions just for two new taxes – this is bureaucratic madness by design." #Steuerpolitik #Bürokratie #Zuckersteuer (translated)

Specifically, Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil (48, SPD) is planning for the plastic tax (set to come into effect on July 1, 2027) with 788 employees at customs, 28 at the federal IT service provider ITZBund, and three in the Finance Ministry. #Steuerpolitik #Bürokratie #Zuckersteuer (translated)

Similar to Germany, there have also been demands in Norway to tax the wealth of the rich more heavily. The government has implemented it. From 151,000 euros onwards, there is a 1% wealth tax in Norway. The consequences are severe: > 12% of the population had to pay wealth tax in 2023 > There is no automatic adjustment; due to inflation, the number of those affected continues to rise each year > The number of emigrants has more than doubled since the last tax increase >>> A nice outlook on what would also happen in Germany. The middle class has to pay wealth tax, and capital is leaving the country. #Vermögenssteuer #Norwegen #Steuerpolitik (translated)
