All parties want to relieve the citizens after the election. But the plus would look very different depending on the life situation, single earners would even be more likely to be burdened. However, one group would almost always win.
Dhe tax reform plans of the parties, if implemented, would reduce the burden on private households by up to 88 billion euros. The financial plus would be greatest if the plans of the FDP were implemented, and the smallest with the Greens. This is reported by WELT AM SONNTAG with reference to calculations by the Institut der Deutschen Wirtschaft (IW).
Accordingly, the plans of the FDP led to a relief of 88 billion euros, those of the Left of 46 billion euros, those of the CDU / CSU of 27 billion euros, the SPD of 20 billion euros and the Greens of six billion euros. The calculations included not only the changes to the income tax rate planned by the parties, but also other components such as a possible basic child benefit or the restriction of the, but also other components such as a possible child benefit or the restriction of the splitting of spouses
Low-income single parents are among the winners in all parties. Traditional single-earner marriages, on the other hand, tended to be among the losers, depending on the government constellation, as the SPD, the Greens and the Left were not only planning the introduction of basic child benefits, but also the abolition or restriction of spouse splitting.
“The analysis shows that a combined introduction of both reforms will result in additional burdens for families with middle and high incomes from a gross household income of 100,000 euros, while families with low incomes will be relieved,” says the IW study, WELT AM SONNTAG was presented in advance.
