Closed conference in Seeon: CSU relies on tax relief

On Thursday, CDU boss Laschet comes to the CSU retreat in Seeon Abbey in Upper Bavaria – for beautiful pictures and demonstrative unity. But it should also be about money.

Despite the clear rejection of tax breaks by CDU leader Armin Laschet, the CSU has not yet given up its hopes for relief in the coming election period.

«Discharge remains an issue for the next parliamentary term. We have to generate economic growth in order to get out of the crisis, ”said state group leader Alexander Dobrindt to“ Münchner Merkur ”. For this, the framework conditions for investments for companies would have to be improved. “We also want to give a clear relief signal for the middle of society.”

Laschet had stated in the ARD summer interview on Sunday that he saw “at the moment” no scope for tax breaks, “we don’t have the money for that.” On Thursday, Laschet is a guest at the retreat of the CSU members of the Bundestag in the Upper Bavarian monastery of Seeon.

At its conference, the CSU also wants to adopt a position paper that contains concrete proposals for financial relief. The demands will then flow into the CSU’s own election program, which is to be decided in the coming week.

The CSU calls for a doubling of the employee savings allowance for the coming election period. «Anyone who wants to make provisions for tomorrow needs our support today. That’s why we want a saver-strengthening package, “said Dobrindt of the German press agency in Munich. This is necessary so that significantly more people can benefit from the employee savings allowance in the future.

Specifically, it says in the CSU paper: “Those who save for the future deserve support today. That is why we want to double the limit values ​​and the maximum funding amounts for the employee savings allowance. ” The current limits for home loan and savings contracts (17,900 euros) and share savings plans (20,000 euros) “we want to increase uniformly to 40,000 euros”.

Weeks ago, CSU boss Markus Söder had also emphasized that after the election, a cash fall would first have to show what leeway the future federal government would have to relieve the people. The condition of the CSU for a coalition participation is the implementation of the third stage of the so-called mother’s pension.

“We want to strengthen and relieve the middle,” said Dobrindt. While the Greens and the SPD wanted to abolish spousal splitting, the CSU advocated expanding it further with child splitting. In return, the tax-free allowance for children should be as high as it is for adults. “We also want to give more support to the growing group of single parents.” By 2023, the relief amount for single parents should increase to 5000 euros. “We have already achieved 600 euros net relief per year and now want to achieve an additional 300 euros.”
