CATJ ASKS CHANCELLOR TO INCREASE

TAXES ON THE WEALTHY

Ahead of his March budget, Church Action for Tax Justice has written to the Chancellor Sajid Javid asking him to increase taxes on wealth as part of a package of measures designed to make our tax system fairer and more equitable.

In an open letter signed by the Chair of CATJ, the Rev David Haslam and Vice-Chair and Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of Southwark, the Rt Rev Michael Doe, a call was made to:
  • equalise taxes on unearned income with taxes on income from work
  • reform Council Tax replacing it with a fairer property and / or land tax
  • lend his support to the introduction of a global minimum corporation tax as a way to avoid the global race to the bottom on corporation tax

The open letter is available here
