Abstract

Wie die Mikrosimulation mit dem Austrian Tax Transfer Microsimulation Model (ATTM) zeigt, wird die für 2016 geplante Steuerreform mit einem jährlichen Entlastungsvolumen von knapp 5 Mrd. € die seit der Steuerreform 2009/10 kumulierte zusätzliche Steuerbelastung durch die kalte Progression nur zum Teil ausgleichen. Wird der Lohn- und Einkommensteuertarif nicht laufend an die für die nächsten Jahre zu erwartende Inflation angepasst, dann dürfte die Entlastung durch die Steuerreform bereits in wenigen Jahren wieder eliminiert sein. Darüber hinaus ist die kalte Progression mit möglicherweise nicht intendierten Verteilungswirkungen verbunden, da sie die Steuerbelastung niedriger und mittlerer Einkommen gegenüber jener der höheren Einkommen verstärkt.
