How a BIG may be financed can not be answered like this. You probably don't speak german, otherwise you may find this interview (and link to his doctoral thesis) interesting: http://www.forum-grundeinkommen.de/filme/andre-presse/doktor...

What it says is basically that for a BIG of 800 Euro (per month per person) in Germany there are only 20 billion Euro's missing (per year), that's nothing compared to e.g. what's currently spent for banks and other fancy things without blinking an eye (or in other words: our society is already working with such a high productivity that a BIG is already possible) The tax system (and social welfare system) needs to be changed completely, but the level of taxation will stay the same.
