Millionaires' Lot in Germany Becomes Hard Under New Taxes
Berlin observers estimate a 10 million mark industrial fortune would shrink to about 2.1 million by 1925 under the emergency levy income and inheritance taxes. Taxes on war profits and the levy would leave roughly 4.5 million after thirty years, with inheritance tax possibly draining to 1.29 million if the owner dies leaving one son. The Tageblatt notes such massive taxation could cripple industrial capacity and weaken productive power.
