This is the historic moment today when the world decided that a new global tax system is needed, it is possible, and they are going to work for it.
At the @UN.
“Fairer taxation of large fortunes”.
Spain 🇪🇸will work with Brazil 🇧🇷 and other countries to ensure taxation of the super- rich.

🔹3 refeições diárias para todos custariam US$ 315 bilhões
🔹Um imposto global de 2% sobre os super-ricos poderia acabar com essa fome - Presidente @LulaOficial em 📷 🇮🇹no @World_FoodForum
“Oligarchs don’t only come from Russia. We need a global asset register: everybody should know where people are stashing away their wealth and it’s a way to end tax evasion and to give us fiscal space”: @icrict's @Jayati1609 during @GA4TJ event on #TaxJustice for #WomensRights
HISTORY IS MADE AT THE @UN!
We welcome the adoption of the ToRs of the #UNTaxConvention! We are pleased to see this process move forward to deliver an international tax system that is fair to all countries and where multinationals and the super-rich pay their fair share.
"Un impôt sur les bénéfices des multinationales à l'étranger avec un taux de 25% rapporterait 26 milliards d'euros à la France, soit 10% du budget de la santé. Un taux de 15% signifie seulement 1% en plus. Le gouvernement doit choisir": @PikettyLeMonde de l'@icrict à @franceinter
“When you are very rich, you can structure your income so you don’t pay tax, zero. These are not isolated cases, this is a regressive phenomenon, where those who should pay the most are paying the least” @gabriel_zucman@taxobservatory@fesnewyork@UNDP#Tax4SDGs2023
"The super-rich pay proportionately much less tax than the working class. To correct this anomaly, 🇧🇷 has insisted on international cooperation to develop minimum standards of global taxation including taxation of billionaires" @LulaOficial.
Will other #G20 leaders listen?
