Define ‘rich’. If it’s a middle/lower class person who is working two jobs and getting over-taxed because of this then no, if it’s a upper-class person who can survive with being taxed more then yes.

Absolutely not.I believe in a more simplified tax system and flat income tax . Income Tax 20% ,Corporate 6.5% ,VAT and sales will stay the same. Inheritance,Capital Gains,Carbon and property tax should be removed

The government should make a clear distinction between those that are cash rich and asset rich. A farmer with hundreds and thousands of euro worth of land is asset rich but may not have cash liquidity and should not be taxed at a higher rate. However a large corporation owner who is both asset and cash rich should be taxed at a higher rate as they can afford to pay it.

More tax for businesses. Those who are holding property should be taxed more. More tax on mass rental individuals.

Taxes should be fairly redeemed, if the earner cannot live comfortably because their money has gone on tax, the tax should be lowered, likewise if a person is a very high earner and a higher rate of tax would not effect their comfort of living then the higher tax should be paid. What I have stated is the same structure that we already have but it needs to be fine tuned to find a better balance I believe.
@97YBF9B2yrs2Y
No, but increase corporate tax
@9ZXBJ9V2wks2W
I believe we should have a new tax system with about 5 new brackets taking a lot of pressure of the small pockets and a bit with the average pockets but a bit more pressure on deep pockets
I haven’t worked out the numbers but something like
-€20,000 10%
€20,000-€40,000 20%
€40,000-€75,000 30%
€75,000-€250,000 40%
€250,000- 50%

The tax bracket should raise taxes for those earning a salary over 90-100K a year. People earning under this at the moment are seeing half it go to tax and left with nothing. Struggling to save for homes and desperately renting these terrible living conditions
