Bestandsaufnahme und Reformvorschläge
Sowohl für Sozialabgaben (Renten-, Kranken-, Arbeitslosen- und Pflegeversicherung, sowie die Umlagen U1 und U2, ebenso Unfallversicherung) als auch bei Steuern gelten teilweise andere Regelungen für Selbständige als für Arbeitnehmer. Dieses Buch untersucht, ob sie im Ergebnis zur gleichen Abgabenbelastung führen. Dabei wird berücksichtigt, dass teilweise nicht nur die Abgaben, sondern auch die Leistungen der Sozialversicherungen bei Selbständigen anders sind als bei Arbeitnehmern. Es zeigt sich, dass teilweise erhebliche Belastungsunterschiede bestehen. Ziel der im Buch vorgestellten Reformvorschläge ist es, diese Belastungsunterschiede abzubauen. Dazu werden zunächst die Gründe untersucht, aus denen Selbständige und Arbeitnehmer bislang unterschiedlich behandelt werden. Ferner werden die wesentlichen Ursachen für Belastungsunterschiede in Deutschland isoliert und anschließend unter Berücksichtigung ausgewählter ausländischer Beispiele (Niederlande, Österreich, Belgien und Schweiz) Reformmaßnahmen ausgearbeitet.
