Political positions

Paus supports the reintroduction of the wealth tax . She considers the proposal of the German Institute for Economic Research to be a debatable model . Lisa Paus advocates a federal tax administration to curb tax evasion. Its aim is to make the different tax enforcement by the tax offices in the various federal states more effective. In order to stop tax fraud and tax avoidance, she also advocates an international transparency register and automatic data exchange. So that Germany cannot act as a tax haven itself, it is calling for banking secrecy to be lifted and for the bank balances of non-residents to be actively reported to third countries or for withholding tax to be levied if this is not possible - as is the case with civil war countries. She is the person in charge of the Green parliamentary group for the introduction of a financial transaction tax .

Paus advocates a gradual adjustment of the lower average tax rate of jointly assessed married couples due to the splitting of spouses with different incomes to individually assessed persons. Instead, children and their families should be promoted “regardless of the marriage certificate” through a basic child benefit.

Lisa Paus advocated better quality and more flexible childcare, which should make it easier for single parents in particular to take up work. She advocates an expansion of daycare opening hours, more company daycare and, above all, an expansion of the daycare system into the evening and night hours.

Paus advocates the reintroduction of non-profit housing in order to promote socially oriented property developers. Municipal housing associations, building cooperatives, but also private associations or individuals should be subsidized with tax breaks and investment subsidies if they build affordable rental apartments on a permanent basis.

Lisa Paus is in favor of an expansion of the not-for-profit concept in tax law: The aim is that organizations that campaign for human rights or peace, for example, also benefit from tax incentives. On the other hand, she also pleads for more transparency in the non-profit sector and for a nationwide, publicly accessible non-profit register.
