Abstract

In den letzten Jahren wurde eine Vielzahl an Steuerreformvorschlägen in Deutschland unterbreitet. Zu den aktuellen gehören neben der Unternehmensteuerreform 2008 (UntSt-Reform), die Duale Einkommensteuer des Sachverständigenrates (DIT) und die Kirchhof'sche Einheitssteuer. Dieser Aufsatz quantifiziert und vergleicht die gesamtwirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen dieser Steuerreformvorschläge mithilfe des eigens für Deutschland entwickelten dynamischen, allgemeinen Gleichgewichtsmodells ifoMod. Wie die Ergebnisse zeigen, bewirken die DIT und die Einheitssteuer einen positiven Impuls auf das Wirtschaftswachstum, während sich die UntSt-Reform als leichte Wachstumsbremse herausstellt. Im Hinblick auf die Wohlfahrtsaspekte der Reformen erzielt lediglich die DIT positive Resultate. Die UntSt-Reform hemmt insbesondere die Investitionstätigkeit der Kapitalgesellschaften, da diese Unternehmen mit Einführung der Abgeltungssteuer auf Dividenden und Wertzuwächse einer Doppelbesteuerung unterliegen. Dennoch generiert diese als einzige Reform einen langfristigen Finanzierungsüberschuss.
