Abstract

Zusammenfassung Der Beitrag simuliert mit den Daten der Kostenstrukturerhebung, wie sich die Neuregelungen der Gewerbesteuer nach Umsetzung der Unternehmensteuerreform 2008 und den Anpassungen der F olgejahre auf die steuerliche Belastung der Unternehmen im Jahr 2010 auswirken. Die Gesamtsteuerbelastung für Kapitalgesellschaften sinkt unter Berücksichtigung der Hinzurechnungsmodifikationen um durchschnittlich etwa sieben Prozentpunkte (Hebesatz 400%); ihre Besteuerung wird jedoch leicht progressiv in der Unternehmensgr öße. Für Einzelunternehmen und Personengesellschaften bleibt die Gesamtsteuerbelastung in den meisten Fällen nahezu konstant, in einigen Fällen steigt sie hingegen moderat. Die Gefahr der Substanzbesteuerung wächst unabhängig von der Rechtsform. Trotz gestiegener Hinzurechnungen sinkt das kommunale Gewerbesteueraufkommen, das heißt, die erhoffte Erh öhung und Verstetigung des Gewerbesteueraufkommens wird nicht erreicht. Insbesondere im konjunkturellen Abschwung erweisen sich die neuen Regelungen als problematisch.
