Zur Debatte über die Einführung einer Nettovermögensteuer in Deutschland

Abstract

Eine Vermögensteuer zur Finanzierung der Corona-Krise und zur Umverteilung zwischen Krisengewinnern und Krisenverlierern ist kein kluges und gerechtes Instrument. Zu diesem Schluss kommt eine neue Studie, verfasst für die Stiftung Familienunternehmen von Professor Clemens Fuest, ifo Institut, München. Mit einer Vermögensteuer zusätzlich zu den bestehenden Steuern würde Deutschland nicht nur einen Sonderweg gehen, sondern auch noch Unternehmen mit krisen- oder branchenbedingt geringeren Renditen über Gebühr belasten. Für sie würde sich der effektive Steuersatz so verändern, dass dies einer Verdoppelung der Ertragsteuer gleichkäme.
