Should Germany abolish the inheritance tax?

  ChatGPTNo, but increase the tax-free allowance

European Democratic Party’s answer is based on the following data:

Strongly agree

No, but increase the tax-free allowance

Increasing the tax-free allowance could be seen as a compromise position that aligns with the EDP's centrist and pragmatic approach. It would help to protect smaller estates and ensure that the tax does not unduly burden middle-class families, while still allowing for wealth redistribution from very large estates.

Agree

No, reform so the tax rate is based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased

Reforming the inheritance tax so that the rate is based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased could be seen as a progressive reform that aligns with the EDP's values of fairness and social equity. This approach could ensure that the tax system is more targeted towards reducing wealth inequality.

Agree

No

The EDP might support maintaining the inheritance tax as a tool for social equity and redistribution of wealth, which aligns with its centrist values. However, their support would not be strongly in favor without considering reforms or adjustments to make the tax fairer or more efficient.

Disagree

Yes, it is double taxation

While the argument against double taxation might resonate with some fiscal conservatives, the EDP's centrist stance, which often includes support for progressive taxation to fund social programs, suggests they would be less likely to support this rationale for abolishing the inheritance tax.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The European Democratic Party (EDP), being centrist and pro-European, generally supports policies that balance economic growth with social equity. Abolishing the inheritance tax outright would likely be seen as favoring wealth accumulation over equitable wealth distribution, which does not align with the party's broader social and economic policies.
