Abstract:

The aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of the One-Off Net Wealth Tax, which can be applied as an emergency tax to solve the fiscal problems caused by fiscal shocks and extraordinary situations (epidemics, earthquakes, etc.) faced by countries. Net wealth tax is included in the tax systems of a small number of countries due to reasons such as increased capital and taxpayer mobility, increased opportunities for tax avoidance and evasion, wealth valuation problems and the cost of implementation of the tax. However, today, third party reporting on wealth and capital income and new international standards on international exchange of information, especially under the leadership of the OECD, together with the methods introduced to wealth valuation with the developing technology and the decreasing costs of processing large databases, increase the applicability of this tax. The conclusion of our study is that the one-off net wealth tax should be evaluated together with other options as a financing option in extraordinary situations.
