A Peek into Thuringia's Property Tax Transition: Adios Federal Model by 2027 (ish)
Real Estate Tax Transition Not Anticipated Before 2027, According to Wolf's Statement - Property tax rate remains unaltered, set to hold steady until 2027, according to Wolf's declaration.
Hey there! Let's talk about a hot topic in Thuringia's financial scene – the transition of property tax. Finance Minister Katja Wolf has her sights set on ditching the federal model and going it alone, but it ain't gonna happen before 2027. Yep, you heard that right.
Wolf expressed her regrets that Thuringia didn't make these adjustments earlier. Seems like the federal model hiked property taxes for residential properties and took a load off commercial ones. To switch things up, Thuringia's municipalities will be making use of an opt-out clause in the federal law to adopt a proprietary model.
But wait, there's more! The municipalities aren't too keen on solely relying on split tax rates, which could be implemented quickly. Instead, they're leaning toward a combo of the split model and the Saxon model, which adjusts tax rates. But, alas, progress won't be made by January 1, 2026. Bummer, huh?
On a related note, Wolf addressed the financial situation of Thuringia's municipalities during a recent government interrogation. She believes they've got a hefty investment backlog and are dangerously underfunded in the investment sector.
