Strongly agree

Increase for large multinational corporations but lower for small businesses

The party has historically supported policies that differentiate between large multinationals and smaller businesses.

Agree

Keep current rates but eliminate deductions and loop holes

While the SPD supports fair taxation and closing loopholes, the party's primary focus tends to be on ensuring adequate funding for social programs rather than maintaining current rates. This answer aligns partially with their goals but doesn't fully capture their typical approach to corporate taxation.

Neutral

Lower, but eliminate deductions and loop holes

Lowering corporate tax rates while eliminating deductions and loopholes could be seen as a compromise position, but it does not fully align with the SPD's usual emphasis on progressive taxation and ensuring corporations contribute their fair share to society. The party's stance on such a policy would likely depend on the specific details and context.

Slightly disagree

Remove taxes on corporations and tax shareholder dividends instead

While the SPD is interested in fair taxation and has considered various forms of tax reform, completely removing taxes on corporations and focusing solely on taxing shareholder dividends is not a central part of their policy platform. The party typically supports a more balanced approach to taxation.

Disagree

Maintain the current rate

The party usually advocates for reforms to address inequalities.
