Merz's Strategic Tax Plan: Gradual Relief for Businesses

Friedrich Merz, the CDU's chancellor candidate, has announced plans for a gradual reduction in business taxes rather than large-scale cuts. Due to limited financial flexibility, Merz emphasized that major tax reliefs are not feasible. Instead, he aims to introduce a multi-step corporate tax reform designed to provide businesses with planning security and reliability.

Merz's focus is on fostering an agenda that supports diligent workers, those who consistently contribute to the economy. He highlighted his extensive experience in the private sector, contrasting it with Chancellor Olaf Scholz's political career. Merz has previously worked in significant roles outside politics, including as chairman of Blackrock's German division, where he accumulated substantial wealth.

Having left politics in 2009 for a period, Merz returned to public service with a wealth of experience from his corporate roles. He asserts that this background, devoid of 'lobby' work, equips him with a unique perspective and understanding of the needs of medium-sized companies.

As Merz prepares for the 2025 Bundestag elections, he is positioning himself as a candidate with a practical approach to economic reform. His strategy does not rely solely on promises of tax reductions but rather on creating a stable environment for businesses. This approach aims to differentiate him from Scholz, presenting an alternative vision for Germany's economic future.
