It argues for no outcome; it maps what is known, what is genuinely contested, and what is uncertain, and keeps them distinct.A Constitutional Model for the Persistent Taxation of Concentrated Asset Holdingshttps://www.vaultsoftheodd.com/politics/persistent-asset-charge/Tue, 21 Jul 2026 09:00:00 +0000https://www.vaultsoftheodd.com/politics/persistent-asset-charge/A constitutional architecture for a recurring charge on the holding of concentrated assets, independent of income, gains, transfers or death, and immune to the legal form in which they are held. It sets out three governing principles, settles what follows from them, and separates what is architecture from what is a matter for Parliament and what only evidence can determine. A companion stress-testing pass tries to break the model and reports honestly what holds.
