Steuerschätzung 2012 bis 2017: günstige Aufkommensperspektiven
Tax revenue forecasting 2012 to 2017: Favourable perspectives
In October 2012 the Working Party on Tax Revenue Forecasting released a tax revenue estimate for the current year and the following five years based on the macroeconomic benchmark figures contained in the German government’s autumn projection. Tax revenues will expand from €573.4 bn in 2011 to €706.6 bn in 2017. The tax ratio is projected to increase from 22.1% to 23.1%. The planned reduction of the fiscal drag in 2013 and 2014 has not been included. However, the reduction is compatible with the fiscal consolidation, because Germany is poised to achieve a budget that is close to balanced in structural terms this year.
