German private equity boom predicted

Private equity funds in Germany will benefit from tax reforms that will kick-start a market worth nearly €600bn ($537bn) over the next 10 years, according to a new report.

A study by Commerzbank on German tax reform, subtitled &quotYou change tax, you change everything&quot, highlighted the importance of wholesale revision to Germany's tax system. This includes the removal of capital gains tax from 2002 and the reduction of personal income and corporate tax rates.
