So with 25% taxes on capital gains, we German investors have it relatively good. And the schools also have to be paid for, so that's perfectly fine.

@Alaba_Invest I agree with that, but as a German you already pay so many taxes and if you consider that many people buy shares in order not to be dependent on the meager pension later, it is in my opinion already very much. The state wastes a lot of money in many places and I think one should not get the money for schools through the invested net income of the citizens, at least not in such an amount. LG

@BurnMoney You lost me at "German citizens already pay so many taxes", "the state wastes money in many places" and "the invested net income of the citizens". Sounds more like Stammtisch than a sound argument. Personally, I have no idea whether the 25% is fair or not.

@Alaba_Invest I'm out of the "schools must also be paid for" argument, sorry. Germany pays by far the most taxes in Europe.

•@Josali and uses them incredibly inefficient. Always ask me how it can be that we are the 3rd or 4th largest economic power and have the highest tax burden but despite no network expansion, no modern schools and no decent roads.

@BurnMoney I would be in favor of the income from the capital gains tax flowing completely into the pension fund.

@Eochaid the germans are such a naive people 🙄

@YTillmann Not completely. Investors who make an annual profit of 70,000 euros or more are welcome to pay in. But the tax-free amount of 800 euros must be raised urgently, because it also affects small investors, which makes no sense, especially not for people who have little money anyway and MUST supplement their pensions.

@Eochaid It depends on what the return is and whether you are investing for the short or long term. I started in May with 7,000 euros and would already be over the tax-free amount if I sold everything and added up the profits. Of course, things won't always go as well as they are now, but the situation shows that the annual tax-free allowance can also be reached in the four-digit range.
