CDU Secretary General Carsten Linnemann did not rule out extending the so-called wealth tax to high incomes ahead of the coalition committee's negotiations. He stated that a compromise with the coalition partner will need to be found on this issue. n-tv ↗
The German government is currently negotiating several major reform packages, including tax policy. Linnemann emphasized that a number of points remain open in this area. At the same time, he said that any potential tax adjustment must not harm the middle business classes and the broader middle class. Tagesspiegel ↗
The more contentious points of the planned reforms are being addressed by the coalition's party leaderships ahead of Wednesday's coalition committee meeting. The question of higher taxation of the highest incomes is one of the topics on which political negotiation between the government partners is expected. Deutschlandfunk ↗
Linnemann also commented on the pension commission's proposal, according to which the obligation to pay pension insurance should also apply to people working in so-called mini-jobs. The CDU Secretary General supported this proposal, arguing that pension provisions should also be established for such jobs. Welt ↗
Further developments will depend on an agreement within the black-red coalition. The negotiations are expected to show whether the government can combine tax adjustments, pension reform, and protection of the middle class into a joint compromise. Tagesschau ↗
