Will Denmark Lead Europe Towards a Super-Rich Tax? Despite past failures, growing public support and recent international initiatives offer Copenhagen an opportunity to push for wealth taxation.

Ultra-rich are taxed less than ordinary people.

Yet, G20 millionaires support higher taxes on wealth & believe extreme wealth is a threat to democracy.

Our colleague Isabelle Brachet writes what @eu2025dk.bsky.social can easily do to advance to #TaxTheSuperRich. Denmark, can you score?

EC proposal for new EU own resources: CSOs and trade unions welcome much needed revenue proposals but regret they do not target the wealthiest and the most profitable and polluting companies:

Seville showed that considerable challenges remain to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals. But it also paved the way for governments to build more coalitions to tax the super-rich and finance care, and put equality, democracy and sustainability at the core of their efforts. Quote by Hernan Saenz, FFD Global Lead of Oxfam.

REACTION: The #FFD4 showed the challenges remaining to meet the Sustainable Development Goals - but also the power of international cooperation.

Good news from #FFD4: 8 countries have committed to work together on higher taxes on luxury air travel, raising funds for global climate action.🔥

In a tense geopolitical environment, Spain, Brazil and South Africa have taken an important step in forging an alliance here at the UN conference in Sevilla to show political will for taxation of the super-rich. Now other countries must follow their lead and join forces.

REACTION: Oxfam welcomes Brazil, Spain and South Africa’s new coalition to tax the super-rich, launched today at #FFD4.

Tackling extreme inequality is vital to fund development goals.

Now other countries must follow their lead.

We believe in the importance of the I-Marker and its potential - provided it gets enough political commitment. Let’s collaborate!💪

For two years in a row, the #EU Commission recognises that fair taxation on the wealthiest has recently gained momentum in the international context.

#TaxTheRich can reduce inequality, provide tax revenue for public services, and contribute to fiscal sustainability.

Oxfam #EU Academy 2025 was truly rewarding. Having learned about the EU’s institutions, political landscape, power balance, rise of the far-right, and how these shape #Oxfam’s engagement opportunities and challenges within the EU policy cycle. Big thanks to @oxfameu.bsky.social for the opportunity!

💰 Today, EU finance ministers are meeting & we are calling for bold, fair, and sustainable ways to raise new revenue for people and planet.

Oxfam, alongside 20 other organisations, has put forward four proposals to help the EU fund its own budget by making sure those most able to pay do their part.

Quote by Amitabh Behar, Oxfam International Executive Director: Corporations continue to cash in on climate devastation, and their profiteering destroys the lives and livelihoods of millions of women, men and children, predominantly those in the Global South who have done the least to cause the climate crisis. Governments must listen to their people and hold rich polluters responsible for their damages.

PRESS RELEASE: 8 out of 10 people support taxing oil and gas corporations to pay for climate damages, global survey by @greenpeace.org and @oxfaminternational.bsky.social finds.

Study launched today as governments meet for #JuneClimateMeetings #SB62.

It's time to make polluters pay! ✈️

Ahead of #ECOFIN, Oxfam & 19 other organisations are calling on EU Finance Ministers to embrace aviation taxation.
These taxes could raise €53 billion/year according to the European Climate Foundation.

33bn a year could be raised from taxing European financial transactions

Ahead of #ECOFIN, Oxfam along with 19 organisations, is demanding new, fair EU own resources.

Example: an EU Financial Transaction Tax could alone raise €33 bn/yr according to the European Climate Foundation.

This could fund climate action, repay debt and fight inequality.

Global CEO pay increased by 50 percent since 2019, 56 times more than worker wages, according to new Oxfam statistics.

Every hour, billionaires pocket more wealth than the average worker earns in an entire year.

Tommaso Faccio from @icrict.bsky.social at #TaxMix2050 : "There is a new tax process at the UN, it is important that the EU engages in it, it is in its own interest. A legitimate process like the UN has the best chances to deliver sustainable standards."

@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"

#TAXMIX2050
En direct du EU Tax Symposium, le grand rassemblement européen sur la fiscalité. Avec la taxation des ultra-riches au menu. Gabriel Zucman y présente sa proposition : Un impôt minimum de 3% sur les grandes fortunes dans l’UE pourrait rapporter 121 milliards d’euros par an.

@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:
"The EU should introduce a minimum tax on billionaires and multimillionaires and reaffirm the need for investments in the welfare state. There is no need to increase taxes for everyone before the wealthiest are asked to pay more"

@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"

Ahead of tomorrow’s EU Tax Symposium, the @taxobservatory.bsky.social put forward a proposal to tax the super-rich in the EU.

In response, Oxfam tax expert @chiaraputaturo.bsky.social said, “taxing Europe’s super-rich is the gamechanger”.
