Bites of Inequality – Julia Jirman
Wealth tax, but how? Julia Jirman from Netzwerk Steuergerechtigkeit talks about various options for structuring such taxes.
Despite high wealth inequality and growing public financial requirements, Germany has so far waived wealth tax. Julia Jirman explores the question of what role a wealth tax could play in an optimal tax system. She discusses various forms of structure, from periodic wealth taxes to one-off contributions and minimum taxes for the super-rich to inheritance tax.
