German court to consider fairness of inheritance tax for business heirs

Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court is expected to consider inheritance tax rules for people who inherit companies.

The issue is whether the rules treat business heirs fairly.

The case concerns the tax paid when a company is passed on through inheritance.

The court’s decision will address the fairness of that tax treatment.

The question matters to people who inherit businesses and to the rules governing those inheritances.

The court is expected to decide the issue, but no timing or further details are given.
