This is a very strange argument indeed! Following this logic, motorway tolls in Italy would have to be paid by cars with an Italian number plate only. Taxes should always follow the originator principle (or polluter pays principle). A yacht cruising or at anchor will always have an environmental impact (pollution, destruction of the marine flora by the anchors) and it always occupies “public space”. Nobody is complaining about car parking fees so why complain about a very reasonably priced tax for superyachts? A charter client who is willing to pay € 400,000 for a one week charter of a 60m superyacht will certainly be able to pay an extra € 36,40 for taxes (less thank 1% of the charter rate!). Everyone, including the HNWIs, has to make an effort to safe our economic system. A system allowing the HNWIs to escape from paying taxes, leads to a collapse, as we can clearly see in Greece!
