Steigende Grunderwerbsteuersätze, Verhaltensreaktionen und der Länderfinanzausgleich

Abstract

In wenigen Jahren haben abgesehen von Bayern und Sachsen alle Länder die Sätze der Grunderwerbsteuer deutlich erhöht. Es gibt empirische Evidenz, dass die Steuersatz-anhebungen durch Verhaltensreaktionen zu niedrigeren Immobilienumsätzen geführt haben. Durch die gesonderte Berücksichtigung der Grunderwerbsteuer im Länderfinanzausgleich werden negative fiskalische Effekte der Verhaltensreaktionen zum Teil ausgeglichen, so dass ein Anreiz für zusätzliche Steuersatzanhebungen besteht. Die Studie quantifiziert die Effekte von Verhaltensreaktionen und zeigt in verschiedenen Szenarien das Zusammenspiel mit dem Länderfinanzausgleich auf.
