Deutsche Bank Proposes A 5% “Work From Home” Privilege Tax (Government levied)
“Privilege”? Many of us saw the writing on the wall long ago and have been working from home for years, and drastically reducing our carbon footprint it should be pointed out. (Something Deutsche Bank has said it cares about.)

Yet in a “modest proposal” from Deutsche Bank, the bank argues that in a time of pervasive covid shutdowns, “those who can work from home (WFH) receive direct and indirect financial benefits and they should be taxed in order to smooth the transition process for those who have been suddenly displaced.”
In other words, the argument goes that working from an office is somehow punitive, and since WFH during the pandemic leads to “many benefits” as a resulting “disconnecting themselves from face-to-face society” a 5% tax for each WFH day “would leave the average person no worse off than if they worked in the office.”
