Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representatives Jayapal and Boyle have introduced “The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act” to level the playing field and narrow the racial wealth gap. Three European countries – Norway, Spain and Switzerland -- levy net wealth taxes while Belgium, France, Italy and Portugal levy wealth taxes on selected assets. Austria, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Luxembourg and Sweden have abolished wealth taxes. A number of Latam countries -- Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela -- either have, or are considering, wealth taxes.

Please join us for a Webinar in which panelists from a number of countries that levy the wealth tax will discuss the pros/cons and issues with respect to wealth taxes. Topics include:

  • The proposed US Ultra- Millionaire Tax Act and prospects for enactment
  • Description of wealth taxes in a number of EU countries, and benefits and detriments
  • Latam view of wealth taxes
  • Are wealth taxes effective in solving wealth inequality?
