A wealth tax to fund a BIG?
from Die ekonomie minuut · host Waldo Krugell
The idea of a wealth tax pops up every now and then and was also mentioned at the ANC's policy conference as a way to finance a basic income grant. Exactly what is meant by the tax was not well explained, but the concept is that of a tax on the stock of wealth. It is not levied on income, but on the net worth of individuals. And this is where the problems begin. * The Economics Minute is supported by the NWU Business School.
