We Need to Tax Billionaires is a 2026 book by French economist Gabriel Zucman.

It was first published in France as Les milliardaires ne paient pas d’impôt sur le revenu, Le Seuil.[1]

Zucman's central proposal is that there should be an annual two per cent levy of the wealth of individuals with a net worth of more than €100 million (£87 million).[2]
