Steuerliche Belastung deutscher Unternehmen –Steuerlast und Verwaltungskosten

Year: 2021

Type: Report

Mit welchen steuerlichen Belastungen sehen sich Unternehmen konfrontiert und wodurch werden sie verursacht? In diesem Bericht beantworten wir diese Fragen aus Unternehmenssicht. Wir beschreiben sowohl die im Rahmen der Befragung angegebene Unternehmenssteuerbelastung als auch die Belastungen durch den steuerlichen Bürokratieaufwand. Des Weiteren geben wir Einschätzungen zu steuerlichen Erleichterungen wieder, insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit der Corona-Pandemie, und zeigen auf, welche Maßnahmen Unternehmen im Hinblick auf die Investitionsförderung als besonders sinnvoll erachten.

Wir haben die Online-Befragung im Zeitraum vom 08. Januar 2021 bis zum 30. April 2021 durchgeführt. 657 deutsche Unternehmen lieferten die Antworten für die präsentierten Ergebnisse.
