Germany Sets New Inheritance Tax Record
The German government's revenues from inheritance and gift taxes in 2025 reached an all-time high, totaling 21.4 billion euros, representing a 60.8% increase compared to 2024. This growth is primarily attributed to higher taxes on asset transfers exceeding 20 million euros, which doubled by 146.8%. Additionally, inheritance and gift taxes set new record levels, with revenues rising by 57.1% for inheritances and 67.3% for gifts, amounting to 13.3 billion euros and 8.1 billion euros respectively. The value of transferred assets increased to 141.1 billion euros, with rises in company shares and real estate holdings. However, statistics indicate that most asset transfers are not taxed due to exemptions, making it difficult to accurately determine the actual volume of wealth transferred last year.
