Finally it so far. Until yesterday you were working for the Treasury, as of today, you do business in their own pockets. Taxes and social contributions – paid for everything. Unfortunately, the middle of the year has already passed. . Because of each Euro is net less than half
If you’re reading this article, you may be sure: Since Saturday morning, 6:14 clock, economies you finally for your own wallet. The Taxpayers’ Remembrance 2015 falls on 11 July. Thus, citizens and businesses – mathematically – more than half a year for the Treasury worked to comply with their tax and social security compulsory
The burden in Germany is clearly too high.! From a euro earned citizens and businesses have to pay more than 52 cents on the public purse and keep barely 48 cents for itself – more precisely 47.6 cents! But it must still waste, water, sewage or daycare fees are paid. The strongly recommended Reserves for private pension or the long-term care are not considered. Therefore,
Many citizens feel that they have less and less money for leisure. The impression is confirmed when you look at the burden in international comparison. According to OECD calculations, the German single household had to pay the third highest load with direct income deductions with an average salary of nearly 46,000 euros in 2014 – 49 percent good. Only in Belgium and Austria, the burden was even higher. Although have German singles – and families – relatively good gross earnings, but with their disposable income, they end up in an international comparison only average.

Reiner Holznagel is president of the Taxpayers. As an expert in tax matters, he writes regularly for FOCUS Online.
It is unacceptable that less and less money at leisure remains. Therefore mainly include three measures now on the political agenda:
First, it is good that the bracket creep is mitigated from January 2016 but can not remain a one-off effect it , Now it is important to reduce the fiscal drag continuously. For this, the income tax rate should be automatically adjusted for inflation. We need a “tariff on wheels”! For it must never happen again that salary increases that compensate for inflation only, lead to greater tax burdens. How important is that, the following example makes clear that the planned mitigation of fiscal drag in 2016 has a volume of 1.5 billion euros. For most taxpayers, this means relief worth a cup of coffee a month. Had the bracket creep but since its inception – ie since 2010 – broken down, one would speak today of a relief volume of eight billion euros. Then coffee was about to come out all the coffee for the citizen instead of a cup.
Second, the solidarity surcharge drop until 2019 at the latest! The federal government can start with the solos degradation by being lowered from 2016 by one percentage point to 4.5 percent. Because the control springs bubble, and the federal budget has enough savings ready. The government should therefore not prevent you finally make the unloved solos conclusion. The see also most Germans like that. According to a representative survey on our behalf to two thirds of citizens are in favor of reducing the solos immediately or at the latest by 2019.
Third, may not be high taxes on luxury Living ! Therefore, a reform of land tax should be made revenue-neutral. Politicians must think here of all owners of real estate and also to all tenants. They need a sensible reform. Because the real estate tax is a popular tax that hits everyone.
If the policy implements these necessary steps into practice, the taxpayer Memorial 2016 is safely inside before 11 July.
