Abstract

For many months, there has been a dispute among the German federal states about the Länderfinanzausgleich. However, neither the German Federal Constitutional Court nor negotiations among the federal and state governments can find a viable solution. The interests of the federal states are extremely different from one another, as the high tax states want to pay less to the other states, which are of course opposed to such a change. Political majorities are not visible, and thus proposals which require a constitutional majority have no chance. In the meantime, other major financial problems have come to the foreground.
