Abstract

In diesem Beitrag fassen wir Forschungsergebnisse aus der Literatur zu den Effekten der Grunderwerbsteuer zusammen. Viele Studien zeigen, dass Steuererhöhungen mit deutlichen Preisrückgängen einhergehen und die Traglast überwiegend bei den Verkäufern liegt. Höhere Grunderwerbsteuern senken außerdem meist die Anzahl der Transaktionen. Entsprechend kann auch gezeigt werden, dass der Anstieg der Steuereinnahmen bei einer Grunderwerbsteuererhöhung unterproportional ist. Nicht eindeutig sind hingegen die Ergebnisse zu Auswirkungen auf das Spekulationsverhalten.
