Sweden has no inheritance or wealth tax.

There was one until 2007, many countries had wealth taxes. Also in 2005 inheritance tax was repealed.

In France wealth tax was repealed in 2017 I think but will be soon reintroduced under a new form.

Specifically because those don't work at all. Not because some evil rich people decided to scrap them.
