Is this indeed a discrepancy, or am I misunderstanding the article?
You are misunderstanding the situation, since the article is mixing multiple laws that changed over time.
- Currency restrictions (Devisenbewirtschaftung)
- 1931-08-01: RM 3.000
- 1934-09-11: RM 50
- 1934-09-29: RM 10
- Reich Flight Tax (Reichsfluchtsteuer)
- 1931-12-08: for sums over RM 20.000 [§2], 25% [§3(1)]
- 1934-05-18: for sums over RM 5.000, 25% (§3(1) was not changed)
- Fees for money transfer (Dego levy)
- 1934-01: 20%
- 1934-08: 65%
- 1936-10: 81%
- 1938-06: 90%
- 1939-09: 96%
- Ordinance on the registration of property of Jews
- 1938-04-22
- Jewish Capital Levy (Judenvermögensabgabe)
- 1938-11-21: for sums over RM 5.000 [§3(4)], 20% [§4(1)]
The currency restrictions was the amount allowed to be converted to foreign currency and applied to all persons traveling abroad (i.e. also for short visits ; tourist etc.) and are often seen in German passports after 1934.
The Reich Flight Tax applied to all persons leaving the country permanently. A simular law existed between 1918 and 1925.
Fees for money transfer (Dego levy)
Dego-Abgabe (German only)
Wer auf legalem Wege emigrieren wollte, musste seine Wertpapiere und die Verkaufserlöse von Geschäft und Immobilien auf einem Sperrmark-Konto belassen. Der Umtausch vom Auswanderersperrguthaben in Devisen musste von der Deutschen Golddiskontbank genehmigt werden und wurde nur mit einem Disagio vorgenommen, der sogenannten Dego-Abgabe.Those who wanted to emigrate legally had to leave their securities and the proceeds from the sale of businesses and real estate in a blocked mark account. The exchange of the emigrant's blocked credit into foreign currency had to be approved by the Deutsche Golddiskontbank and was only carried out with a discount, the so-called Dego levy.
Note:
The transfer fee was set by the Deutsche Golddiskontbank and not by law. The Paul Reiss sample quotes 92.5% for November 1938.
Jewish Capital Levy, for German or stateless Jews, based on their worldwide financial assets as of 1938-11-12. For sums over RM 5.000, rounded down to the nearest RM 1.000 [§3(5)]: 20% to be paid in 4 rates of 5% [§4(1,2)]:
- 1938-12-15
- 1939-02-15
- 1939-05-15
- 1939-08-15
