We Need to Tax Billionaires

£9.99

While ordinary citizens pay around half of their income in tax, billionaires pay often close to zero income tax – because they earn almost all their income through companies. The solution is the 2% ‘Zucman tax’: a minimum tax on the ultra-rich themselves, advocated by economist and global expert on the taxation of wealth Gabriel Zucman. We need to tax billionaires, and this book shows us why now is the moment.

Description

‘Finally, not just why but crucially how to tax the super-rich’ GARY STEVENSON

‘Read it, share it and let’s get on with it’ RUTGER BREGMAN

Why do billionaires pay less tax than you?

Billionaires often pay a lower income tax rate than nurses, teachers and almost everyone else – sometimes close to zero. This isn’t tax evasion, it’s the system.

In this explosive manifesto, Gabriel Zucman – the economist revolutionising the study of inequality – reveals how the ultra-rich dodge billions using havens, loopholes and political influence, while public services are breaking.

Until we understand the hidden rules that protect extreme wealth, inequality will keep rising and democracy will keep losing. This game-changing book finally shows us how making the ultra-rich pay their fair share is possible, and why now is the moment.
