@surruiz.bsky.social from @oxfaminternational.bsky.social at #TaxMix2050 : "Big multinationals have benefiting the most from globalisation but they have not contributed up to the scale and they have created market concentration. The element of fairness within and between countries is key"

MEP Bruno Gonçalves at #TaxMix2050: "For EU sustainable competitiveness, we need to harmonize taxation and create a level playing field...It is not anticapitalistic and unfair to tax the wealthiest, it means being pragmatic, realistic and solving people's problems"

@Estherlynch.bsky.social from @etuc-ces.bsky.social at #TaxMix2050: "There is a problem for democracies: High Net Worth Individuals use their power to influence decisions, they should pay their fair share. Some billionaires are asking to pay more taxes!"

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social from @taxobaervatory.bsky.social at #TaxMix2050: "Progressive taxation is a key pillar of a democratic society. Super-rich pay less than the rest of society. We need to close the gap at the top with a minimum tax on the wealth of the super-rich"

Tjebbe van Oostenbruggen, Minister of Tax Affairs of the Netherlands, at the #TaxMix2050: "We have to expand the mandate of the Code of Conduct group to individuals' harmful tax regimes and improve transparency of real estate and owners"

Pasquale Tridico at #TaxMix2050: "Inequality has been rising and is one of the causes of economic stagnation. The distribution of wealth should be a priority"

Pasquale Tridico, chair of the EP FISC committee, at the #TaxJustice at the Vatican with @icrict.bsky.social: "Inequality has increased, it is detrimental for the economy...We are missing huge part of wealth, that does not belong to neither labor or capital. This is why we need a wealth tax!"

Gerassimos Thomas at #TaxJustice at the Vatican with @icrict.bsky.social: "On wealth and individuals' taxation, an historical agreement was achieved last year at G20 and UN to start addressing this. We have to invest time to put in place transparency, asset registries and technology requirements."

.@wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu at EP FISC Committee on taxation of High Net Worth Individuals: "I'm very sympathetic to the notion of fairness. First approach has to be European,on transparency, but I will also push internationally.It's not easy, but this does not mean that it's not worth pursuing it"

370 millionaires, including 50 EU millionaires like Marlene Engelhorn, signed a letter to tell world governments at the World Economic Forum in Davos to #EndInequality and #TaxtheRich 👇
