As this slowdown accelerated the searchfor new public resources to eliminate the economic problems, it reminded the taxation of the rich again. The study attempts to analyze this taxation, which is one of the most debated issues attracting public attention nowadays. Although main principles are set by the governments to maintain efficient tax implementation on the rich, various legal and technical problems are experienced. To eliminate these problems, many studies have been carried out by scholars, meanwhile, various legal arrangements have been prepared by governments as reform endeavors. These intense practices about the topic show that problems experienced by tax authorities are nearly the same both in the developing and developed countries. Considering these common problems, overall, the findings of this study are fourfold. First, the taxation of the rich is a global phenomenon. Second, the progressive tax, which is a frequently proposed tool of rich taxation, can be a problem in terms of saving and investment rates. Thirdly, the elimination of tax evasion and tax avoidance can be more effective than the high rate of taxation to increase public revenue. Finally, digital transactions, which have gained increased importance with the pandemic, should be taken into consideration instead of levying heavy taxation of the rich.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Dünyanın geçtiğimiz yıldan bu yana deneyimlediği salgın, ciddi boyutta küresel ekonomik yavaşlamaya neden oldu. Bu yavaşlama, ekonomik sorunları ortadan kaldıracak yeni kamu kaynaklarının aranmasını hızlandırdığı için zenginlerin vergilendirilmesini tekrar hatırlattı. Çalışma, günümüzde kamuoyunun dikkatini çeken, çok tartışılan konularından biri olan bu vergilendirilmeyi analiz etmeye çalışmaktadır. Zenginlerin vergilendirilmesinde etkin vergi uygulamalarını sürdürmek için temel ilkeler devlet tarafından belirlense de konu hakkında yasal ve teknik anlamda farklı sorunlarla karşılaşılmaktadır. Bu sorunları ortadan kaldırmak için akademisyenler tarafından yapılan birçok çalışmanın yanı sıra hükümetlerce de yasal düzenlemelerle ilgili çeşitli reform girişimlerinde bulunulmuştur. Yapılan bu yoğun çalışmalar gösteriyor ki, vergi otoriteleri tarafından yaşanan sorunlar hem gelişmiş hem de gelişmekte olan ülkelerde neredeyse aynıdır. Söz konusu ortak problemler göz önüne alındığında, genel olarak, bu çalışmadan dört farklı sonuç çıkmaktadır. Birincisi, zenginlerin vergilendirilmesi küresel bir olgudur. İkincisi, zenginlerin vergilendirmesinde sıkça önerilen uygulama olan artan oranlı vergi, tasarruf ve yatırım oranları üzerinde sorun oluşturabilir. Üçüncüsü, kamu gelirini artırmak için vergi kaçakçılığının ve vergiden kaçınmanın mümkün olduğunca ortadan kaldırılması, yüksek oranda vergilendirilmeden daha etkili olabilir. Son olarak, zenginlerin yoğun vergilendirilmesinden daha ziyade, salgınla birlikte önemini artıran dijital işlemler, vergilendirmede daha çok dikkate alınabilir.</p></trans-abstract>
