Germany Planning To Equalise Corporate Tax Levels, Report Suggests
Reporting at the weekend, Germany's Welt Am Sonntag suggested that Finance
Minister Hans Eichel is planning to equalise corporate tax levels for all types
of corporate structure. Without citing sources, the German newspaper reported that the government is
considering bringing the corporate tax level to between 30% and 35% for all
businesses, in an attempt to increase Germany's attractiveness to domestic and
foreign investors. Mr Eichel is also mulling the abolition of the country's trade tax, Welt Am
Sonntag alleged. A comprehensive report in our Intelligence Report series looking at offshore and onshore corporate structures and their tax implications is available in the Lowtax Library at http://www.lowtaxlibrary.com/asp/subs_reports.asp and a description of the report can be seen at http://www.lowtaxlibrary.com/asp/description_report7.asp
