You can take a loan on your shares to pay for the tax, which happens all the time for most expenses.

  You have to pay back the loan eventually, with interest. This doesn't change the fundamentals. It just means you're paying a bit more overall to defer selling the shares. It does bring up an interesting point, however. Is this tax applied to net wealth? Can you subtract money that you owe to someone else? What if the lender is outside the country and thus not subject to the wealth tax? And what happens if your net wealth is negative—do you get a refund?

    It does change the calculation however. You can still end up owning your whole equity, with some debt that's potentially much less than the growth in the wealth (provided by keeping the equity that'd otherwise be sold).
