Labour’s Wealth Tax Proposal: Fair Game or a Fiscal Fantasy?

As the Labour Party floats the idea of a wealth tax, many investors and entrepreneurs are asking the same thing:

Is this the start of smarter redistribution, or another economic misstep?

  • Could be structured as a one-off levy or annual charge
  • Sold as a way to fund public services and address inequality


Sounds good in theory, but reality tells a different story.
