Set way, e.g. France. There already in the year 1999 the value added tax for renovation was lowered -, equipment and repair construction work by residential buildings from 19,6 % to 5,5 %. Thus the handicraft achievement for the privatmann is reduced substantially more favorably and the incentive to the moonlighting clearly.
Against differently reading messages these measures led e.g. in France to a substantial turnover increase in the French building craft and for the job creation (see enclosed article of the managing director of our partner chamber Carcassonne/Suedfrankreich).
On 1 February 2006 the 25 European Ministers of Finance decided that the reduced VAT rate for handicraft achievements can be used now everywhere in the European union. Also Germany has now the possibility of taxing limited reduced from 2006 to 2010 handicraft achievements. For this the German Federal Government to at the end of must place March 2006 a request at the European commission in Brussels.
After hearing the Federal Cabinet wants the rise of the value added tax around 3 %-points already on 22 February 2006 in the framework one sucked. Haushaltsbegleitgesetzes 2006 decide. 20 will make use simultaneous will apply VAT rates reduced by 25 European member states of the request right and to certain handicraft achievements.
Therefore we urgently appeal to you:
The German handicraft with its enormous occupation and training capacities may not turn out in the European comparison in the hintertreffen! The German policy must leave following the fingers now to the example of our neighbours of the VAT rate reduced by an increase of the value added tax and hand rather the hand for the application!
We ask you therefore very cordially around it and would be very grateful, if you would use yourselves in the next days and weeks for the interests of the German handicraft and his 5 millions persons employed and concomitantly for the interests of the upper-Frankish handicraft and its 80,000 persons employed.
