A clear, reliable and streamlined corporate tax framework can strengthen Germany’s competitiveness and make it more attractive for domestic and foreign investment. Our new position paper sets out concrete proposals to simplify German corporate tax law and reduce administrative burdens, helping to create more favorable conditions for business activity and long-term growth.
A core policy priority for our members is the reduction of disproportionate bureaucracy in Germany. In terms of our new position paper, our proposals aim to reduce complexity and overlapping requirements in German corporate tax law, streamline procedures and clarify responsibilities. Less red tape and greater tax certainty frees up resources for investment and growth - strengthening Germany’s competitiveness as a business location.
The proposals were developed by AmCham Germany’s Tax Committee, which brings together tax experts from our member companies and is currently chaired by Margarete Schaetzler (PwC) and Kai Strüngmann (UPS). Drawing on the practical experience of our Policy Committee members with tax requirements in day-to-day business operations, the paper addresses pressing reform needs with a particular focus on issues affecting companies operating across borders and investors in Germany.
