Abstract

In Germany the burdens on the factor labour from taxes and social insurance contributions is very high at 68.1%. this means that more than two thirds of the additional value added that results from an intensified use of labour is taken by the state. Even after the government's planned tax reform, the burden on labour will still be higher than in most OECD countries. A detailed presentation of burdens in an international comparison and a juxtaposition of the tax reform proposal of the German government and those of the CDU/CSU will appear in the next ifo Schnelldienst.
