The FDP in Saxony has spoken out in favor of a comprehensive tax reform. The aim is to provide noticeable relief for citizens and businesses, it said at the state party conference in Leisnig in the district of Central Saxony. "People work every day - and in the end it's still not enough. Not because they do too little, but because the state takes too much. The problem is that it simply never gets enough," emphasized state chairman Matthias Schniebel.
In concrete terms, the FDP Saxony wants to raise the basic tax-free allowance to 20,000 euros. Those who earn little should no longer have to pay income tax at all. At the same time, the party is in favor of significantly simplifying the tax system - fewer exemptions, fewer special rules, less paperwork.
