Volker Wieland and Kronberger Kreis support tax reductions for companies ("Die Welt")

The members of the so-called Kronberger Kreis have asked for corporate tax reductions in Germany. In their view, a reduction in coporate tax to 10 percent is adequate. Otherwise, Germany could carry the highest corporate tax burden in Europe within a couple of years and loose ground against countries such as the France, the United Kingdom or the United States, which implemented comprehensive tax reforms or announced tax cuts.
