Marital assistance

Marital assistance was a tax in the time of National Socialism that was levied on all unmarried wage earners with a wage of more than 75 Reichsmarks and on all unmarried income tax assessors, provided they were not over 55 years of age. It was also levied on divorced people, widows and widowers if there were no children.

The amount of the tax fluctuated between two and five percent of gross wages. The emergence of the marital assistance should cover the expenses for the marital loan . However, that was never achieved. In 1934, marriage loans required about six times as much tax money as the marriage assistance brought in in taxes.

Marriage assistance was collected from July 1933 until the end of 1934 and then incorporated into the income tax rate. The idea for introducing this tax came from Fritz Reinhardt , the NSDAP's finance specialist and State Secretary in the Reich Ministry of Finance .
