A shift of 1 billion euros: this is in the much-discussed leftist plan
PRO and Volt propose a tax shift of 1 billion euros from labor to wealth, aiming to reduce taxes on work while increasing taxes on the wealthy. They suggest changes to the current tax plan, including a new two-tier system for box 3 taxes, where profits up to 60,000 euros would be taxed at 35.5%, and profits above that at 38.5%. Additionally, they aim to tackle tax avoidance in inheritance and gift taxes, which could yield 284 million euros. The proposal also includes freezing tax thresholds in box 2 until 2031, affecting business owners and shareholders. Lastly, they plan to raise over 400 million euros by addressing tax avoidance strategies, including a proposed exit tax for wealthy individuals emigrating.
