Abstract: Due to a decision by the Federal Constitutional Court in December 2014 the inheritance tax has to be renewed by 30 June 2016 since the regulation is not in line with the German constitution law. The draft law by the national government, issued in July 2015, is a risk for many jobs and family owned companies as it might lead to higher tax burdens when the next generation takes over the business. Therefore, adjustments are needed in order to ensure most jobs in family owned companies and the unique structure of the German economy. These changes especially concern the strict requirements for very small and big companies as well as the inadequate business valuation parameter.
