Berlin's finance senator criticizes the voting procedure on the growth of growth: a week for a statement on a comprehensive draft law is too short.

Finanzsenator Stefan Evers (CDU) aus Berlin hat in einem Brief an Bundesfinanzsenator Christian Lindner (FDP) das Abstimmungsverfahren zum Wachstumschancengesetz kritisiert. Evers bemängelt, dass den Ländern lediglich eine Woche Zeit gegeben wurde, um zu dem 275-seitigen Gesetzesentwurf Stellung zu beziehen. Dies sei seiner Meinung nach zu kurz bemessen. Laut dem Entwurf des Wachstumschancengesetzes sind Mindereinnahmen in Höhe von insgesamt 6,66 Milliarden Euro zu erwarten. Evers betont, dass die gewährte Frist nicht ausreiche, um bei einer derartigen finanziellen Größenordnung eine gründliche Prüfung durchzuführen. Der Brief erreichte den Bundesfinanzminister in dieser Woche und liegt dem Tagesspiegel vor. Der Vorschlag für das Wachstumschancengesetz, welches …

Berlin's finance senator criticizes the voting procedure on the growth of growth: a week for a statement on a comprehensive draft law is too short.

Finance Senator Stefan Evers (CDU) from Berlin criticized the voting procedure on the Growth Beasy Chances Act in a letter to Federal Finance Senator Christian Lindner (FDP). Evers criticizes that the countries were only given a week to take a position on the 275-page draft law. In his opinion, this is too short.

According to the draft of the Growth Chances Act, underneath revenues of a total of 6.66 billion euros are to be expected. Evers emphasizes that the deadline granted is not sufficient to carry out a thorough examination in the event of such a financial size. The letter reached the Federal Minister of Finance this week and is available to the Tagesspiegel.

The proposal for the growth of the growth of the growth, which provides for comprehensive tax changes, was submitted by Lindner in mid -July. The tax package aims to relieve companies and set a premium for investments in climate protection. If companies invest in energy and resource efficiency, they should receive part of the costs from the state. With the new law, the Federal Minister of Finance also intends to boost the currently stagnating economy.

Finance senator Evers advocates that the countries are adequately integrated into the legislative process. Because the federal government does not have its own knowledge of the work of the tax offices in everyday life. He warns that premature decisions, which lead to problems in the daily practice of the tax offices, would weaken the administration.

The proposed regulations in the draft law are a collection of various tax measures, some of which have not yet been or not finally discussed in the corresponding bodies of the federal states and the federal government.

In his letter, finance senator Evers also makes it clear that this is not the first time that there is dissatisfaction with the Federal Ministry of Finance. Already in the last Finance Committee meeting of the Federal Council, considerable criticism of several countries on the rushed procedures on the part of the ministry had been expressed.

The draft law from Lindner's Ministry had previously been criticized from various directions. Marcel Fratzscher, President of the German Institute for Economic Research

The German Cities Day warned of tax failures and focused in particular on the changes to trade tax. The Greens criticized the fact that six billion euros in less revenues were too much in the face of the already tense budget. Instead, they called for an “investment offensive”. FDP General Secretary Bijan Djir-Sarai, however, rejected this claim on Saturday, referring to Lindner's legislative proposal.
