Abstract

Zusammenfassung Im Rahmen einer Querschnittsanalyse wird die Steuer- und Abgabenlast in Deutschland auf Haushaltsebene für 2018 untersucht. Neben der Belastung nach Haushaltseinkommen wird die Belastung nach der Konsumhöhe betrachtet. Schließlich wird der Beitrag unterschiedlicher Einkommensgruppen zur Staatsfinanzierung dargestellt. Es zeigt sich, dass die durchschnittliche Abgabenquote 40 % bei einem Bruttoeinkommen von 24.000 Euro beträgt. Bei einem Einkommen von 80.000 Euro steigt die Quote auf über 50 %.
