CDU/CSU tax reform at risk as state leaders block relief measures
Fritz Güntzler, the CDU/CSU’s financial policy spokesman in the Bundestag, has criticised state leaders for blocking planned tax cuts. He warned that their refusal to back a tax relief bonus could derail the entire reform. According to him, the deadlock risks leaving citizens and businesses without much-needed financial support. Güntzler directly addressed CDU and CSU state premiers, urging them to back a full tax overhaul. He stressed that without their approval, the proposed tax relief bonus would collapse, creating a €1.1 billion shortfall. The lawmaker made it clear that failure to act would prevent real tax reductions for households and companies.
He also demanded clarity from the premiers on their position. Their opposition, he argued, stands as the biggest hurdle to delivering the promised cuts. Güntzler repeated that time is running out to secure meaningful relief for taxpayers.
The dispute centres on a €1.1 billion funding gap tied to the tax relief bonus. Güntzler’s calls highlight the pressure on state leaders to either support the reform or risk its collapse. Without their backing, the planned tax cuts for citizens and businesses will not move forward.
