There's some hype in Germany....at least sixty-percent of Germans favor the idea, and I expect the Greens and SPD to suggest it for their fall 2025 election strategy.
Four 1st tier offer such a program presently...Columbia, Switzerland, Norway and Spain.
Sweden did it for a couple of years....chasing out a couple of companies and a number of the ultra-rich. After a while....they realized they lost more than they gained.
France had it for almost a decade...dumping it in 2018.
If the Germans progressed toward it? I would suggest within four years....a fair amount of production would exit...probably going to Spain, Czech, or Poland.
Adding to it....a fair number of the German wealthy-class would re-anchor themselves and their assets....in safe countries without the tax affecting them.
But that doesn't mean it's a no-go position. I think the two parties are desperate for votes, and they need to attach themselves to it....to gain some advantage over the CDU-CSU party position.
