What is trade tax?
Trade tax is a municipal tax paid by companies on their profits from commercial activities. It is set and collected at the municipal level and is therefore an important source of income for cities and municipalities. In contrast to income tax or corporate tax, trade tax is not set by the federal government but by the individual municipalities.
How is trade tax calculated?
The trade tax is calculated based on the business income of a company. This is first determined by adjusting the profit from the business operation for certain additions and deductions. These include, for example, interest, rents or leases that are not included in the actual business income. The trade tax assessment amount is then calculated from this adjusted business income.
This amount is multiplied by the municipality's respective tax rate to determine the specific amount of trade tax.
Significance for the economy and companies
Trade tax is an important factor for companies when choosing a location and making investment decisions. Since the trade tax rate can vary from municipality to municipality, the amount of trade tax can play a role when companies choose between different locations.
High trade tax rates can encourage companies to locate in municipalities with lower rates, which in turn can impact the local economy and employment. For municipalities, trade tax is an important source of income that is used to finance public tasks such as infrastructure, education and social facilities. A high trade tax can therefore be attractive for municipalities because it provides additional financial resources.
Current developments and reforms
In recent years, there have been various discussions about reforms to trade tax. Some experts are calling for a reform that will simplify the tax system and distribute the tax burden more fairly. The issue of digitization and the tax treatment of digital companies and business models is also playing an increasingly important role.
In addition, the Corona pandemic also has an impact on trade tax. Many companies are struggling with a loss of sales due to the economic consequences of the pandemic, which also affects their business income and thus the amount of trade tax. Some municipalities have therefore taken measures to relieve the burden on affected companies.
Overall, trade tax remains an important issue for companies, municipalities and economic policy as a whole. Its design and its importance for the economy will continue to play a central role in the future.
