We are deeply saddened by the passing of former French investigative magistrate Renaud Van Ruymbeke, a relentless advocate for justice.

His investigations into tax evasion, financial crimes and corruption set a precedent for accountability.

He will be greatly missed!

🗨️Basándose en los éxitos de los últimos 10 años, el siguiente paso lógico de la cooperación fiscal internacional debería consistir en un impuesto mínimo coordinado para los más ricos: Profesor Gabriel Zucman UC Berkeley Paris School of Economics en Seminario Regional de #PolíticaFiscal #CEPAL .

'We see in Latin American countries, either a lack of progressivity where all income groups pay a very similar effective tax rate, or clear cases of regressivity, such as Argentina 🇦🇷, Brazil 🇧🇷 or Chile 🇨🇱'

The Global Tax Evasion Report 2024, which our EU Tax Observatory released last year, estimates that a minimum tax on global billionaires equal to 2% of their wealth would generate ~$250 billion per year in tax revenue

$250 billion, from less than 3,000 under-taxed individuals

I was delighted to speak to the finance ministers of Latin America, reunited at CEPAL in 🇨🇱, to explain why it is necessary—and possible—to create a coordinated minimum tax on the super-rich

This is key to fight inequality, the climate crisis, and poverty

'We need a coordinated minimum tax on the super-rich. We now know that international coordination is possible.
There is now a minimum tax on corporations.
Years ago this was an utopia. 
Now it's real.'
Gabriel Zucman at CEPAL

“The idea that billionaires should pay a minimum amount of income tax is not a radical idea,” writes the economist Gabriel Zucman. “A coordinated minimum tax on the superrich will not fix capitalism. But it is a necessary first step.”

The idea is simple. Let’s agree that billionaires should pay income taxes equivalent to a small portion — say, 2% — of their wealth each year.

'The Brazilian government has an even more ambitious proposal – for an annual global tax levied at 2% on the wealth of the world’s billionaires. Gabriel Zucman has been asked to draw up a detailed plan for how a billionaire wealth tax would work..' theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

#DYK that in 2022, $1 trillion in profits found its way to #TaxHavens , equivalent to 35% of multinational companies' global profits.

This evasion costs nearly 10% of corporate tax revenues globally, with US multinationals leading the charge at 40%.
