Black and Red Coalition - Merz: Lowering the income tax for small and medium incomes is "not fixed"

Schleswig-Holstein's prime minister now sees great satisfaction with the coalition agreement within the CDU after an early nörgelei. However, the paper only moderates the upcoming reforms. There must be more. A chancellor Merz trusts Günther a lot.

The SPD praised itself after the coalition agreement for falling taxes at low incomes and a higher minimum wage of 15 euros. But now the designated chancellor Friedrich Merz contradicts and declares that both are not yet fixed.

Last week, Union and SPD agreed on how they would govern. Among other things, they agreed to reduce income tax. However, Merz says that whether it really comes is open.

CDU CEO Merz speaks in BILD unusually openly about the financial burden for citizens.

The contributors and taxpayers must probably be prepared for even higher taxes. Federal Chancellor-designate Merz makes it clear that a reduction in income tax is by no means already decided.
