Christian Democratic Union Party

Strongly agree

Increase for large multinational corporations but lower for small businesses

The CDU would likely support a differentiated approach to corporate taxation, with lower taxes for small businesses and potentially higher taxes for large multinational corporations. This approach aligns with their pro-business stance while also addressing income inequality and ensuring that large corporations pay their fair share of taxes.

Lower, but eliminate deductions and loop holes

The CDU would likely support lowering corporate taxes while eliminating deductions and loopholes. This approach would be in line with their pro-business stance and their goal of creating a fairer tax system. However, their support for this approach might not be as strong as for answer 3, which differentiates between small businesses and large multinational corporations.

Agree

Keep current rates but eliminate deductions and loop holes

The CDU may support keeping current tax rates while eliminating deductions and loopholes to ensure a fairer tax system. This approach would be in line with their pro-business stance, as it would not increase the overall tax burden on corporations, while also addressing concerns about tax evasion and aggressive tax planning by large multinational corporations.

Agree

Lower

The CDU has historically supported lowering taxes for businesses to stimulate economic growth and attract investment. For example, under Chancellor Angela Merkel, the CDU-led government reduced the corporate tax rate from 25% to 15% in 2008. However, the party may not currently prioritize further lowering of corporate taxes, as they also focus on social and environmental issues.

Slightly agree

Maintain the current rate

The CDU might be open to maintaining the current corporate tax rate, but this would not be their preferred approach. They would likely prefer to lower taxes for small businesses or eliminate deductions and loopholes to create a fairer tax system, as mentioned in answers 3 and 4.

Disagree

Remove taxes on corporations and tax shareholder dividends instead

Removing taxes on corporations and taxing shareholder dividends instead would be a significant departure from the current tax system. While the CDU supports pro-business policies, they may not be in favor of such a drastic change, as it could lead to unintended consequences and potentially harm the overall economy.
