Tell us: what questions do you have about wealth tax? | Tax

By now, ‘tax the rich’ is a familiar slogan. And it makes sense, a tax on the growth in extreme wealth held by individuals and corporations in the UK could generate significant funds. One study suggests a global levy on the top 0.5% could raise about $2.1tn – roughly 7% of national budgets – with the UK alone bringing in around $31bn a year. That revenue could be transformative if used to fund the NHS, education, affordable housing, climate resilience, and long-term care.

Maybe you’re confused why governments are often reluctant to impose a wealth tax, or why wealthy individuals and corporations are paying a smaller proportion of their income in tax than most teachers and nurses, or why the poorest 10% of households in the UK pay more of their income in tax than the richest 10%?Send in your questionYou can tell us what you would like to know about wealth tax by filling in the form below. Your experiences could help shape the episode and might even feature in the show.Your responses, which can be anonymous, are secure as the form is encrypted and only the Guardian has access to your contributions.
