EFES HÍREK - 2019. DECEMBER

Germany:
The Coalition decides that tax incentives will be doubled


Germany is finally moving. In the course of the negotiations on the basic pension, the Coalition has agreed to increase the tax-free allowance for employee participation in working capital from 360 euros to 720 euros. The Coalition Resolution of 10 November 2019 states: "Employee share ownership contributes to the accumulation of wealth of employees. In order to increase their attractiveness, the maximum tax-exempt amount will be increased from the current 360 euros to 720 euros." Thus, the coalition takes up a long-standing demand of the German Association for Employee Participation (AGP) to improve the tax environment for employee capital participation.

With the increase in the allowance, AGP expects a significant effect on the accumulation of assets of employees who can already make use of the corresponding investment offers of their company. "To what extent more companies will offer participation programs for their employees in the future, remains to be seen, however, since the allowance in comparison to other European countries remains low. The European experience here shows a clear correlation between the level of support and the degree of penetration of employee capital participation" says AGP Managing Director, Heinrich Beyer.
The association therefore pleads for a further gradual expansion of the tax subsidy. A further increase could also strengthen the German start-up companies in the international location competition for qualified specialists.
For their part, the opposition parties (FDP and Grünen) want an exemption up to 7,500 euros comparable to other major European countries.

Employee are often the losers when the ownership of their employers changes hands. They almost never benefit from a transaction... unless the company has broad-based ownership by its employees. The existence of an ESOP means that the sale price is divided among many people, rather than a single person taking the entire profit from the sale.
