The CDU funds politician Mathias Middelberg has the SPD’s plans for one Inheritance tax reform strongly rejected and warned of unfavorable penalties for medium-sized companies. When it involves enterprise belongings, the Union isn’t involved with “keeping people rich, but rather “We want to keep the businesses intact.”stated Middelberg on Wednesday within the ARD “Morgenmagazin”.
“Anyone who inherits a large fortune should pay a hefty inheritance tax,” stated the CDU politician. But if the inheritor of an organization has to pay 30 p.c of the corporate’s worth in taxes, “then that is the exit for many companies.”
It can also be about competitiveness. Large international companies like Amazon have a bonus over a household enterprise just like the mail order firm Otto. “They by no means have the burden of inheritance tax. The household companies in Germany have it. If the SPD needs to do it that manner, then that is it Exit for German medium-sized companies.”
