Benjamin Kanthak talks about this with economist Prof. Benno Torgler. The basis is an international study on tax compliance, which shows that it is often less financial incentives that are decisive than psychological factors such as fairness, trust and the feeling that everyone is doing their part. Especially against the backdrop of the current tax debates in Australia, it is also about the question of how stable a tax system really is when public trust dwindles. - Warum zahlen Menschen eigentlich Steuern – aus Angst vor Strafen oder weil sie dem Staat vertrauen? Genau darüber spricht Benjamin Kanthak mit dem Ökonomen Prof. Benno Torgler. Grundlage ist eine internationale Studie zur Steuermoral, die zeigt: Entscheidend sind oft weniger finanzielle Anreize als vielmehr psychologische Faktoren wie Fairness, Vertrauen und das Gefühl, dass alle ihren Beitrag leisten. Gerade vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen Steuerdebatten in Australien geht es dabei auch um die Frage, wie stabil ein Steuersystem wirklich ist, wenn das Vertrauen der Bevölkerung schwindet.","meta_description":"Why do people actually pay taxes — out of fear of fines or because they trust the state?
