Meetup #13 — Money + taxes

The state deals with a lot of money. People and organisations need to declare, file, and pay taxes or receive returns if they overpaid the state. Tax contributions amount to billions of euros, funding public goods such as infrastructure, education, social welfare, and defence.

In the 13th edition of our meetup series, we take a closer look at research and design in public finance and taxation, exploring diverse perspectives from 3 speakers. The evening aims to spark a discussion about the government’s or the state’s role, and how it can be accommodating to citizens, residents, and business owners.

We will hear from:

• Manuel Großmann (Taxfix)
• Merici Vinton (formerly US Digital Service)
• Sonja Wilczek (DigitalService des Bundes)

The federal government’s DigitalService is hosting the meetup on the mezzanine floor of its Kreuzberg office.

All presentations will be given in English. Questions in the later discussion part can be raised in either English or German.

The event is jointly organised and hosted by CityLAB Berlin and DigitalService.
