Söder says: The 1000 Euro bonus fails
131
Markus Söder is the leader of Bavaria. He talks about the 'Entlastungs-Prämie'. This is a bonus of 1000 Euro. People pay no tax on this money. The 'Bundes-Rat' stops this plan. Söder does not believe in the bonus anymore. He says: The plan is now over.
The bonus costs much money. It costs 2,8 billion Euro now. Many companies do not want the bonus. The SPD had the idea first. Söder wants a change of the 'Einkommen-Steuer'. All people should pay less tax. He thinks this is better than one bonus.
Söder does not want to raise the 'Spitzen-Steuersatz'. This hurts many skilled workers. But rich people could pay more tax. The government meets on Tuesday. CDU, CSU and SPD talk about the new tax plan. The mood between the parties is bad.
