Finance Minister Klingbeil does not exclude tax increases
Tax increases are a no-go topic for CSU boss Söder-for the Social Democratic finance minister Klingbeil. In view of a billion dollar hole, he keeps all options open in the budget.
To remove the billions in gaps in the upcoming households, Federal Minister of Finance Lars Klingbeil does not rule out higher taxes for top earners and wealthy – even if the coalition partner CSU strictly rejects this. “No option is taken off the table,” said the SPD chairman at “ZDF Berlin directly summer interview”. Especially people with high income and high assets should ask themselves: “What part do we contribute to the fact that this country becomes more fairer?”
An overall package is necessary to fill a gap of 30 billion euros in the 2027 budget. The SPD was always of the opinion that people who had super -high assets and high income should contribute to the fact that society would become more fair, said Klingbeil. “I do not give up this basic conviction with entry to a coalition. And that’s why we will talk about all questions in the coalition: Where can we dismantle subsidies? Where can we reform these social security systems? Where can we save in the ministries?”
Reference to the responsibility of the CSU
To the announcement of CSU boss Markus Söder that there will be no higher taxes, the finance minister said: “Mr. Söder, too, has now contributed to some plans that are important to him that a gap in the household is growing.” Now it is a matter of collegially sit down at a table and compensate for the respective suggestions in order to reduce this gap.
Söder had enforced in the coalition that the mother’s pension was expanded again, reduced VAT in the catering trade and returned to subsidize agrardiesel. These three projects alone cause additional expenses or tax losses of several billion euros.

Top against Economic Minister Reiche
Klingbeil also made a top to the address of his cabinet colleague Katherina Reiche (CDU). The Federal Minister of Economics had recently asked for the problems in financing the pension that the Germans had to work more and longer.
The SPD leader said: “Most of the time, I experience that people with very high incomes, with very high assets, are strongly appealing to the whole country, that now all time more work and work for longer. But I think that this will not do justice to a retirement debate that we actually have in Germany.”
