Pressemitteilung zur Studie »Wealth taxation, including net wealth, capital and exit taxes« von der Europäischen Kommission, 15.4.2026 (engl. Original)
Against the backdrop of global discussions in international fora such as the OECD, the G20 and the UN, this study was commissioned in 2024 to support an informed debate. It consists of two volumes. The first volume provides a comprehensive overview across five categories of taxes, surveying academic literature in both EU and non-EU countries and mapping the existing wealth-related tax regimes in EU Member States.
