Prevent with the Startup Manifesto against the tax entrepreneurship Die deutsche Startup- und Internetszene ist im Aufschwung. Kreative Ideen treffen auf technisches Know-how, talentierte Gründer auf international agierende Investoren. Das Ergebnis: Innovation im globalen Wettbewerb der Länder und die Schaffung zehntausender Arbeitsplätze in Deutschland. Das Internet ist zum Wirtschafts-, Job- und Innovationsmotor gereift. In Deutschland trug die Internetwirtschaft 2010 bereits mit 75 Milliarden Euro zur Gesamtwirtschaftsleistung bei – das entspricht drei Prozent des BIP. Und neben einem prognostizierten jährlichen Durchschnittswachstum von acht Prozent besitzt die deutsche Internetwirtschaft schon jetzt eine höhere Wirtschaftskraft als die Branchen Bergbau oder Hotel und Gastronomie. Streubesitzanteile besteuern heißt Innovation bremsen Dieser Aufschwung wird nun akut durch eine Empfehlung des Bundesrates zum Jahressteuergesetz 2013 berührt. Ein schädliches Gesetz für den Innovationsstandort Deutschland Rating: 5.0/5 (33 votes cast)
