France wants international taxation of billionaires, says Bruno Le Maire. Nearly 140 states agreed at the end of 2021 on minimum taxation of multinationals under the aegis of the OECD.
The level of taxation of the richest comes up at very regular intervals in debates. The French economist specializing in inequalities and tax havens Gabriel Zucman is due to present his recommendations to the G20 Finance Ministers, meeting in Sao Paulo under the Brazilian presidency. According to his calculations, of every dollar of tax revenue generated in G20 countries, less than 8 cents comes from wealth taxes.
