An article from Oxfam<\/a><\/p>\n

In response to Spain, Brazil and South Africa\u2019s new global coalition to tax the super-rich, launched today at the Fourth Financing for Development Conference in Seville,\u00a0Oxfam Tax Justice Policy Lead Susana Ruiz said:\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We welcome the leadership of Brazil, Spain and South Africa in calling for taxes on the super-rich. People around the world are pushing for more countries to reject the corrupting political influence of oligarchies. Taxation of the super-rich is a vital tool to secure sustainable development and fight inequalities. The wealth of the richest 1% has surged $33.9 trillion since 2015, enough to end annual poverty 22 times, yet billionaires only pay around 0.3% in real taxes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/center><\/p>\n

\u201cThis extreme inequality is being driven by a financial system that puts the interests of a wealthy few above everyone else. This concentration of wealth is blocking progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals and keeping over three billion people living in poverty: over half of poor countries are spending more on debt repayments than on healthcare or education.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a tense geopolitical environment, Spain, Brazil and South Africa have taken an important step in forging an alliance here at the UN conference in Seville to show political will for taxation of the super-rich. Now other countries must follow their lead and join forces. This year, the FFD in Seville, COP30 in Brazil and G20 in South Africa are key opportunities for international cooperation to tax the super-rich and invest in a sustainable future that puts human rights and equality at its core.\u201d<\/p>\n
