Tax Justice UK Annual Accounts 2017/18

It is one of the classic refrains of social media: “Who funds you?” a demand for openness and transparency, rightly levelled at campaigns whose aim is to influence government policy.

Tax Justice UK is a campaigning organisation and our aim is to make the case for the positive role that tax plays in our society. We seek to champion changes to make the tax system work better, while at the same time supporting a fair, sustainable and thriving economy.

We have three long term goals:

• To build a platform of influencers for reform of the UK tax system;
• Shape a public narrative on the need for a fairer and more effective tax system; and
• Persuade decision-makers that these reforms are viable policy options.
  
  

Our income

• In the 2017/18 financial year we were awarded the following grants:

Tax Justice UK Executive Director, Robert Palmer, said:
​“In 2017, Tax Justice UK was incubated out of the Tax Justice Network, a global network of organisations committed to transparency on tax and financial affairs.

"Never has it been more incumbent on campaigns in the UK to be open about who funds them, that’s why I am happy to see our annual accounts published.”
