Neeraj Nagarkatti
: I immediately thought of "wealth tax" when I saw the post. If you're talking about the tax introduced in Spain, then "wealth tax" is appropriate. That's according to the Boletín Oficial del Estado.

: Capital gains tax is a tax on investment earnings, not net wealth.

Technically true, but it is applied to real property, which has already been taxed many times in other ways, so it is double taxation. But your point is valid. Mine may not be the best solution here.

AllegroTrans
: Not a "euphemism" but an official tax with a specific name (at least on this side of the Pond) but it's not the right answer here

: In my experience, this is used more to determine how much income has been generated from the ownership of certain assets, not the overall assessment of their value.

on second thought, "wealth tax" seems to fit well here <3
