Paper Summary

Sustainable taxation aims to collect enough money fairly and transparently to support society's needs. Specialized taxes like those on fuel or alcohol don't meet all the criteria for sustainable taxation. A non-preferential income tax on all income, including gains, is recommended for a more stable and fair tax system. This type of tax could help address the growing wealth gap and ensure everyone pays their fair share.
