Session information

Wealth tax: a new golden era?

Description

This panel will look at the role and design of wealth taxes, in particular in OECD jurisdictions. 

  • Are wealth taxes the right, also an efficient, way to address inequality?  
  • What are issues encountered across the various jurisdictions, how do you deal with value volatility, especially acute in the crypto category? 
  • Should there be a tax on luxury goods? 
  • And what about inheritance tax – is that a double taxation where there’s already a wealth tax?  

Also, the case for and against relief for business assets. Wealth tax, perhaps fool’s gold after all?
