Tax statistics

The importance of tax statistics does not lie primarily in the presentation of the revenue from taxation, but in the fact that they also provide highly detailed, and virtually complete, information on the turnover of economic branches (turnover tax statistics) and the income of persons and legal entities (income and wage tax statistics, corporation tax statistics).

The integrated wage and income tax statistics go beyond pure tax (data) statistics. Their aim is to show the total disposable income available to people. To this end, wage and income tax data and data on transfer payments (unemployment benefit, emergency assistance grants, family allowance, paternity/maternity leave allowance and other benefits) are merged.

For each of these tax statistics there is a separate publication (only in German) available (downloadable as a PDF document) with a textual part (basics, main results) and a large number of tables.
