Wealth inequality is evident worldwide, including in Europe. The wealthiest 5% of the population in the eurozone control 45% of net household wealth, while the top 10% holds 57.4%.
Several European countries have repealed wealth taxes in recent decades. Only three still impose a tax on individual net wealth, while a few others levy taxes only on selected assets.
