La présidente de groupe macroniste @valeriehayer.bsky.social en appelle à une réforme de la fiscalité pour faire payer les multinationales.

Mais qui a bloqué un taux d'imposition minimum à 25% des entreprises pour stopper l'évasion fiscale ? La France de Macron et son groupe au Parlement européen.

It's impossible to earn a billion, but there are more billionaires every year. How?

We talk w/ @theguardian.com's @josh-tou.bsky.social about "collected wealth" vs "earned wealth", how we tax them unequally & why #WealthTax protects our earner way of life #TaxTheSuperRich youtu.be/vPZRDt1kcV8?...

A billionaire not earning an annual return of 10% per year, is doing something wrong. Taxing their wealth at 2% would be equivalent to taxing 20% of that annual return, a level that is common throughout the world- said
@josephestiglitz.bsky.social to @lemonde.fr.

Joseph Stiglitz, Prix Nobel d’économie : « La France peut mettre en place la taxe Zucman seule, ça en ferait un leader à suivre »
Le Prix Nobel d’économie 2001, chargé pour le G20 d’un rapport sur les inégalités, se dit consterné de l’attitude défaitiste des Européens face à Trump.

Both within countries and internationally, the rule of law is being trampled, leading to rampant corruption, violations of basic human rights and due process, and systematic erosion of institutions. But there is hope. @projectsyndicate.bsky.social

@jayatighosh.bsky.social at @assembleenationale.bsky.social: All major opposition parties in India now back a wealth tax.

Why? Because even a modest levy on <1,000 families could finance double the country’s health budget. Listen. ⤵️

An American moving to Puerto Rico can pay just 4% tax, @josephestiglitz.bsky.social noted at @assembleenationale.bsky.social with @gabrielzucman.bsky.social & @jayatighosh.bsky.social.

But even billionaires who tried didn’t stay — fortunes & lives remain tied to where they were built. Listen⤵

Il ne faut pas sous-estimer la créativité des super-riches lorsqu'il s'agit d'échapper à l'impôt. Le mécanisme optimal pour contourner le principe d'égalité, c'est l'impôt minimum à taux plancher- @gabrielzucman.bsky.social a Le Figaro.

Merci @gabrielzucman.bsky.social, Jayati Gosh et @josephestiglitz.bsky.social pour ce colloque sur la taxation des hauts patrimoines, à l'invitation du Président Éric Coquerel.

L'enrichissement sans limite est une aberration économique et une injustice sociale.

Panel 1: Who Shapes the Rules? Trade Wars, Tax Battles and the Future of Global Governance (50 min) - 2 rounds of questions (40 min.) and (10 min.) of Q&A. International taxation is no longer a technocratic issue—it is caught in the crossfire of global power struggles. With the return of Trump, the U.S. is once again using tariffs and trade threats to dismantle Digital Services Taxes (DSTs) abroad, as well as the minimum tax on multinational corporations, defending its tech giants while undermining multilateral negotiations. This panel will examine how the weaponization of trade policy intersects with ongoing processes on international tax reform—from the OECD/G20 to the United Nations—raising fundamental questions about sovereignty, fairness, and the balance of power in global governance. Speakers will reflect on what is at stake: whether unilateralism and trade wars will derail efforts to build a fairer international tax system and what pathways exist toward an inclusive and equitable framework that can withstand great-power politics. Moderator: Victor Goury-Laffont (POLITICO). Joseph Stiglitz, ICRICT Co-Chair . Manon Aubry, Co-chair of the Left Group in the European Parliament Member of the ECON and FISC committees. Valérie Hayer, Présidente de Renew Europe au Parlement européen. Break and change of panel. Shaping the Future of International Tax Cooperation 3 7:05-7:50 PM 7:50-8:00 PM Panel 2: Negotiating the details: Key elements of the UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation (45 min). Building on the political discussion, this panel will take a closer look at the concrete elements under negotiation in the UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation and its early protocols on taxation of cross-border services and dispute prevention and resolution. Experts will examine proposals on the table, alternative measures advanced by different countries and regions, and the contrasting realities betwee…
