Those with assets worth £3.4 million would pay a 1% tax rate on their annual income, under the plans.
The Scottish Greens have proposed introducing an annual tax which targets the wealth of the “super rich”.
The policy is set to be part of the Scottish Green manifesto, which will be published in the weeks ahead of the General Election, and will include taxing the wealthiest 1% of UK households. Ms Slater said: “The last few years have been really tough for millions of families across the UK. People have struggled with sky high bills, soaring costs and stagnating wages.“Yet, for the super wealthy things have never been better. They have continued to get richer while inequality has got worse and worse.
