Re:The Big Escape: How the Ultra-Wealthy Avoid Paying Taxes ... by RandomLensman on Friday September 17, 2021 @12:28PM (#28567432)
Germany discontinued it after it was struck down by the supreme court because it only taxed liquid/easy to measure wealth. Any new wealth tax would have to extend to all forms of wealth and would therefore be very costly to administrate. Successive governments have so far refrained from creating a new version.

In fairness, the "old" wealth tax did not bring a lot of revenue.
