'Der erste Teil dieses Beitrages stellt Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten der Steuersysteme beider Länder dar und verortet diese in einem internationalen Steuersystemvergleich. Der zweite Teil untersucht die politischen, institutionellen und sozioökonomischen Kräfte, die in beiden Ländern auf die Steuerpolitik eingewirkt haben, und erklärt die bestehenden Differenzen in der Steuerpolitik. Ausgehend von der Parteiendifferenztheorie sowie vom Vetospieleransatz werden die einzelnen Faktoren untersucht und mit anderen Erklärungsansätzen (EU, Globalisierung, ökonomischer Problemdruck) kontrastiert. Es zeigt sich, dass für die unterschiedlichen Steuerreformaktivitäten auch die geringere Zahl und die weniger mächtigen Vetospieler in Österreich mit verantwortlich sind, während die Bundesrepublik Deutschland hier stärkere institutionelle Barrieren aufweist und infolgedessen auch stärkere Widerlager bei Steuerreformen besitzt.'

'The first part of this article stresses the differences and similarities of both tax systems and compares them with the tax systems in the OECD world. The second part draws the attention to the main political, institutional and socio-economic factors which may have influenced tax policies in both countries. Starting point are hypotheses which are derived from the partisan theory and the theory of veto players. These determinants are confronted with other explanations like globalisation and the impact of the EU. Besides that the indebtedness and economic problems may have caused a pressure for reforms. A main finding of the article is the importance of veto players for different levels of tax reforms. Austria, has considerable fewer and weaker institutional barriers than Germany, where more institutional 'checks and balances' are at work and therefore preventing bigger tax reforms.'
