Taxation German real property tax reform – simple, socially equitable and …

The Ger­man cab­i­net and the CDU/CSU and SPD par­lia­men­tary groups have adopt­ed draft leg­is­la­tion to re­form Ger­many’s re­al prop­er­ty tax. The aim is to make the tax sim­ple, so­cial­ly eq­ui­table and com­pat­i­ble with the con­sti­tu­tion. Re­al prop­er­ty tax rev­enue will con­tin­ue to ac­crue to the lo­cal au­thor­i­ties. Gen­er­at­ing more rev­enue is not the ob­jec­tive of the re­form.
