>Switzerland has a wealth tax (of up to 0.3%), and there is zero evidence that this has any deterrent effect on wealthy people settling in Switzerland

The model in PG's post appears to predict around a 12% "lifetime" (60-year) rate from an 0.3% wealth tax and thus suggests (at least to me) that this would be at most a minor concern for most wealthy people. So this does not seem like contrary evidence.
