Libertarians are calling for profit taxes for companies to be halved - saving money for Austria's economy

According to a report by www.derstandard.de If the FPÖ had had its way, Austrian companies would have saved a lot of money. Last year alone, the state would have charged them 7.1 billion euros less in profit taxes - money that they could have used differently. Because: In their most recent comprehensive economic program, which dates back to the 2017 election year, the Freedom Party called for profit taxes for companies to be halved.

As a financial expert, I have mixed feelings about this requirement. Halving profits taxes could undoubtedly result in companies having more capital to invest and expand. In the long term, this could stimulate economic growth and create new jobs. On the other hand, such a move would result in significant losses to the state budget, which could potentially lead to cuts in other areas such as education and healthcare.

The impact of such a measure on the financial market would also be significant. Halving profits taxes could direct investment into certain companies and sectors while neglecting others. This could distort the market and have long-term negative effects.

It is important that such economic policy decisions are carefully considered to take into account the long-term impact on the economy, the government budget and the financial market. The debate about corporate taxation must therefore be based on sound analysis in order to find the best possible solution for all parties involved.
