Abstract

Over many years, the states of Hamburg, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia had to pay into the horizontal system of financial equalisation among the German federal states. In 2000 they combined to pay about 50 per cent of the adjustment payments to the fiscally weaker states. In 2014 this percentage diminished to ten per cent. As a consequence, Bavaria had to bear a greater part of the equalisation payments. The main reason for the lower levels of tax revenue and lower financial capacities in these three states is belowaverage economic growth compared with the average of the old federal states. The degree to which additional technical and legal effects have had a significant impact on tax revenue and financial capacity in the equalisation system is remarkable.
