We are creating a tax rebate for foreign professionals during their first three years in Germany. There will be rebates of 30%, 20%, and 10% for those people who come here as qualified specialists, said Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner.
Criticism against the tax rebates for foreign skilled workers includes claims of blatant discrimination against domestic workers, danger to social peace, and indifference towards the domestic workforce.
Opposition politicians and trade unionists argue that the tax incentives for foreign workers may breach the principle of equal treatment in the German constitution and labor law.
Green Party lawmaker Beate Muller-Gemmeke emphasizes the need to uphold the principle of equal treatment, stating that it would be discriminatory against nationals to exempt foreign workers from certain tax obligations.
