Abstract

In light of the recent debate on whether Singapore should consider imposing wealth and inheritance taxes on ultra-high net worth individuals, this article seeks to address two key questions: 1) whether wealth should be taxed; and 2) how wealth should be taxed. The first question is one of moral philosophy while the second is one of tax policy.
