25% flat-rate withholding tax on interest income
In contrast to the CDU/CSU’s election campaign promise not to raise taxes, the
25% flat-rate withholding tax on interest income shall be abolished so that the
respective earnings will be subject to the (individual) income tax. However, the
flat-rate withholding tax on dividends and on realised capital gains will not be
affected. Nevertheless, a thorough and systematic reduction of the tax burden
would look different.
