| contents | Tax administrative cost reduction is an economically and socially desirable goal for public policy. This article proposes total administrative cost as percentage of total tax revenue as a vivid measurand, also useful for cross-jurisdiction comparisons. Statistical data, surveys and a novel approach demonstrate: Germany's 2021 tax administrative costs likely exceeded 20% of total tax revenue, indicating need for improvement of Germany's taxation system - and for the many jurisdictions with similar tax regimes. In addition, this article outlines possible reasons for and implications of the seemingly high tax administrative burden as well as solutions. |
