A do-nothing budget - Tax Justice UK's response

29/10/2018

 
Robert Palmer, Executive Director of Tax Justice UK said:

“Austerity isn’t over after all, and the tax system is still unfair. Our schools, hospitals and prisons urgently needed major injections of cash today. Instead the Chancellor made some eye-catching tweaks to existing pledges while awarding tax cuts to corporations and the wealthy. That is a missed opportunity.”

On digital tax reforms:

“Digital companies make an awful lot of money from our economy and haven't put enough back in to date. But £400 million won't go very far towards the £20 billion a year the government has said we need for the NHS. We need companies across the board to pay more - raising corporation tax is the best and fairest way to generate the money we need to fund our public services.”
