German Cabinet Approves 46 Billion Euro Corporate Tax Relief Package

  • The German federal Cabinet approved a €46 billion tax relief package on Wednesday to support struggling companies and the economy.
  • The package responds to a weak economy facing global trade tensions, tariff risks from US policies, and a contraction in 2024.
  • The package, implemented from 2025 to 2029, includes a 1-point corporate tax cut starting in 2028, super depreciation, and incentives for R&D and mobility.
  • Super depreciation allows 30% annual write-offs for three years, while the government lowered the 2025 growth forecast to zero, warning of no growth for a third year.
  • This tax relief aims to boost priority investments and revitalize Germany's manufacturing-dependent economy amid persistent production weakness and trade challenges.
