Positions

At a conference on the future of employee participation in November 2013 in Frankfurt am Main , Brandt criticized the fact that the existing tax allowances in Germany at EUR 360 are too low by international standards. He advocated the British model with allowances equivalent to 3,500 euros.

Brandt predicted that without a change in the tax framework in Germany, the scope of employee participation would not increase. For many companies, this is less than 1%.
