New regulation of property tax from 2020

One does not take the average but the median of the full-time positions.

For 2017, I have the figures ready, but they are gross.

€3,339 West, €2,600 East Germany.

The source is the BA statistics from 2018 with the reference date 31.01.2017

Ah ok. Yes, then I think it is about €900-1000 higher there.

Just another question, has anyone so far understood how it is calculated? Sure, maybe rental value, plot size, standard land value and assessment rate. But in what ratio?

You are probably thinking of something like the income value from the real estate business for the valuation. Example. 12,000 net cold rent per year would result in 12 times 12,000 equals 144,000 income value. That could then be used for tax assessment and you would have the regional differences well under control. Because 150 sqm in Hamburg West are significantly above 150 in Süderbrarup in terms of income value.

Ah ok. Yeah, then it’s probably about 900-1000€ higher there

Hmm... In 2017, the median net income of full-time employees in West Germany was approximately 2000-2100€. Shouldn't the tenured teacher in A13 get a bit more than what you’re estimating here? Taxes and contributions are lower, though before private health insurance. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Just to illustrate proportions, regarding the argument about "one salary and frugality".

A14 is now 6000 gross. A13, check with the dbb. They have the tables online.

Just did it and also had the net calculated.

A13 is at least €1000 above the median net before private health insurance. A14 is even further away.

As I said, it's not about civil servants earning too much. I just want to illustrate how far that is from the average of the population. Forget about a house on one salary, just have to be frugal and so on.

Can you build a house for parents + 2 children today with about €2100 net + child benefit family income? I think it would even be, well: difficult for you!
