PoliticsOxfam takes France to court over ‘tax inequality’

Oxfam France advocacy officer Layla Abdelké Yakoub says billionaires in France pay proportionally less tax than nurses or firefighters. She argues that concentrated wealth and preferential tax treatment for the ultra-rich undermine the constitutional principle of equality before taxation. As Oxfam takes legal action against the state, Yakoub points to a widening gap between efforts to attract investment and funding public services, tackling poverty and advancing an ecological transition.
