Scientific advisory board at the Federal Ministry of Finance
The Scientific Advisory Board at the Federal Ministry of Finance was established on February 8, 1949 as the Scientific Advisory Board of the Administration for Finance of the United Economic Area . In 1950 the name was changed to the name still used today. The first chairman was Fritz Terhalle , who remained a member until 1962. It is based at the headquarters of the Federal Ministry of Finance, Wilhelmstrasse 97, Berlin.
tasks
The Advisory Board advises the Federal Ministry of Finance through the regular publication of reports and statements. For example, a report on the reform of statutory health insurance was published in 2006 and a study on tax reform through a dual income tax or a so-called flat tax in 2004.
According to the articles of association of the advisory board, it is obliged to be politically independent. The Federal Ministry itself regards the advisory board as the “scientific conscience” of its work.
