Wealth tax discussion
Enjoyed the discussion 11th sept 2023, but one comment. You didn’t actually discuss wealth taxes, capital gains can easily be avoided because rich people can choose when to realize gains or simply delay if needed. Wealth tax = % annual tax paid on net assets eg (made up) tax free allowance 1m, 0.25% on 1-5m net assets = 10k, 0.5% on 5-10m net assets = + 25k etc, it’s unavoidable, see Spain, France, Portugal, Netherlands. Belgium for examples in place, this would change the game
