The International Monetary Fund (IMF) proposed to take from companies that were able to earn a coronavirus pandemic, the so-called solidarity tax. This is stated in the report published on the organization’s website.
The Foundation believes that due to the temporary tax on the overall countries will be able to replenish their budgets, and this will help strengthen social cohesion and reduce inequality in society. The organization insists: now in the world it is necessary to build social spending, but this requires additional sources of budget.
In the IMF, it is confident that such a tax will help the prosperous business to contribute to the restoration of the economy, and those who received damages will not affect. This will increase the feeling that “everyone contributes to the efforts to recover after COVID-19.” As an example, the Fund led to the practice of Germany, Australia and Japan: there at different times were temporarily introduced taxes from the most wealthy people.
In the late 2020, Forbes magazine called 50 entrepreneurs from the health sector, earned billions against the background of the coronavirus pandemic. Most of them are from China, from there the dissemination of COVID-19. Businessmen earned a state due to the growth of shares of companies that develop vaccines and delivered medical equipment.
