Abstract

Analysiert werden die vielfältigen Auswirkungen der Sozialversicherungsfreiheit der Entgeltumwandlung auf die verschiedenen Zweige der Sozialversicherungen und die Anpassungsprozesse, die sich aus den Mindereinnahmen in Folge des Entfallens von Beitragseinnahmen ergeben. Zudem werden die sozial- und verteilungspolitischen Konsequenzen der unterschiedlichen Auswirkungen erörtert.Es zeigt sich, dass auch detaillierte Rechnungen auf einzelwirtschaftlicher Ebene keine eindeutige Überlegenheit der betrieblichen Entgeltumwandlung gegenüber einer privaten Rentenversicherung oder einem Festbetragssparen aufweisen, solange sich die Arbeitgeber nicht daran beteiligen. Das Ergebnis hängt vom individuellen Status (ledig, verheiratet), der Höhe des Einkommens und dem Krankenversicherungsstatus ab. Auf jeden Fall schwächt die Entgeltumwandlung das Sozialversicherungssystem, und hier vor allem die soziale Rentenversicherung. Der Entzug beitragspflichtiger Lohnbestandteile führt zu Beitragsausfällen und vor allem zu einer Minderung der Renten aller Versicherten.
