Medium -sized business in the start: Finally there!

Austria's middle class receives decisive support from a new comprehensive package of measures, which was presented by Federal Minister Hattmannsdorfer. Around 579,500 small and medium -sized companies (SMEs) not only form the backbone of the economy in Austria, but also deliver two thirds of all jobs - a total of an impressive 2.5 million jobs. This commitment to the economy is now recognized by targeted relief. The measures in the so -called SME package include, among other things, the gradual increase in the basic flat rate and an exemption from the standard consumption tax for small load vehicles, which are often used as mobile workshops. "Finally ending the absurd evidence! Time to tame the bureaucracy monsters!" Emphasizes Kurt Egger, General Secretary of the Economic Association, in ots.at

But the image of medium -sized businesses is not only strong in Austria - it also plays a central role in Germany. According to the Federal Statistical Office, SMEs have over 99.3 % of all companies subject to VAT. These companies are not only important employers, they also contribute significantly to the training of future specialists and thus ensure the economic future. However, many SMEs face serious challenges. Digitization, rising energy costs and an increasing shortage of skilled workers are just a few of the pressing problems that endanger competitiveness. In this context, the company gains special importance: the owners are often intensively involved in corporate management, which leads to fast and flexible decisions, as reported on Wirtschaftsforum.de

challenges and opportunities

In order to secure the competitiveness of the middle class in the future, political measures are urgently needed. A reduction in bureaucracy and tax relief are considered the key to supporting companies. At the same time, you have to invest in the latest technologies and sustainable business models in order to meet the constantly changing requirements. In a rapidly changing economic environment, the middle class is more than ever required to re -position and find innovative solutions - a task that also means challenge and opportunity.
