Nine things the Chancellor should do this November to fix the tax system

In four weeks, the Chancellor is publishing the autumn budget. Looking ahead to this event, Tax Justice UK is publishing ’Tax Takes’, a new report that sets out some ways to build a better tax system to benefit everyone in the UK. These are bold prescriptions for change, not tinkering around the edges. The proposals cover a wide range of areas:

1. Championing the role of tax in building a civilised and fair society 
2. Stopping ‘competition’ for corporate investment through tax cuts and giveaways 
3. Taxing the new economy
4. Supporting social spending to reduce gender inequality
5. Drawing the links between social justice, tax justice and transparency
6. Resourcing and refocusing HMRC
7. Requiring companies to calculate and submit figures on deliberately created tax risk
8. Addressing the tax gap by creating an Office for Tax Responsibility and a Ministry of Tax
9. Abolishing non-domiciled status
