Abstract

Die Komplexität von Steuersystemen gewinnt in der Debatte um den internationalen Steuerwettbewerb zunehmend an Bedeutung. Im vorliegenden Beitrag erfolgt, basierend auf den Daten, die dem Tax Complexity Index (www.taxcomplexity.org) zugrunde liegen, eine umfassende Gegenüberstellung der Komplexität der Steuersysteme von Deutschland und Österreich unter Berücksichtigung der Mittelwerte aller Länder. Die Steuergesetze weisen sowohl in Deutschland als auch in Österreich einen verhältnismäßig hohen Grad an Komplexität auf. Bei den steuerlichen Rahmenbedingungen fällt der Grad an Komplexität in beiden Ländern dagegen niedrig aus, wobei Österreich im Durchschnitt weniger komplex ist als Deutschland.
