Income millionaires in Saxony-Anhalt: the number has doubled in 5 years!
In the last five years, the number of income millionaires in Saxony-Anhalt has more than doubled. While there were 142 millionaires in 2017, there were already 283 in 2021. This is a sharp increase of 31 percent compared to the previous year dubisthalle.de reported. The development raises the question of what this significant increase means for the region and its economy.
The taxable income of these wealthy households in 2021 is an impressive 595.1 million euros. Compared to the previous year, income grew by 119.7 million euros, which corresponds to an increase of a remarkable 25.2 percent. On average, each taxpayer can show a true 2.1 million euros. What is particularly noticeable is that the highest incomes are achieved in the Jerichower Land district, where the average is 3.6 million euros. A third of millionaires live in one of the country's three independent cities, which further enhances the urban centers.
Tax burden and sources of income
The assessed income tax for these income millionaires totaled 219.6 million euros in 2021 and also rose by 23.4 percent compared to the previous year. On average, every taxpayer with income worth millions pays around 0.8 million euros in taxes. The majority of income comes from commercial businesses, which brought in a total of 364.4 million euros, followed by self-employment with 138.7 million euros. Non-self-employed work also contributed 51.8 million euros to the overall balance, as nachrichten-heute.net adds.
Another interesting detail is that the statistics for 2021 have only now been published due to the long tax assessment period. This shows how time-consuming the evaluations are. The Federal Statistical Office has also addressed the issue of income millionaires, and the numbers are comparable to other federal states, with Saxony-Anhalt showing a particular upward trend.
Outlook and social implications
The rapid increase in income millionaires not only represents an economic triumph, but also raises numerous social questions. This could fuel the discussion about tax fairness and social responsibility, especially with regard to social cohesion and the distribution of resources. However, there are currently no specific reactions from politicians or the public regarding these developments.
The situation in Saxony-Anhalt impressively shows how income levels can develop over the years - a trend that brings both opportunities and challenges for the region.
