Monika Schnitzer Advocates for Higher Inheritance Tax and Retirement Reforms in Germany

Monika Schnitzer, head of the German Council of Economic Experts, is calling for an expansion of inheritance tax to include businesses and pushing for retirement reforms. She argues it is unfair for heirs of businesses to be tax-exempt and suggests alternatives for tax liabilities. Schnitzer also opposes the proposed billionaire tax by Robert Habeck, arguing that it would lead to high administrative costs. Additionally, she recommends raising the retirement age and eliminating the early retirement option for those with 45 years of contributions.
