Tax Justice UK

🌴⛔ It’s clear the govt won’t end tax havens unless we make them. We’ve built a People’s Lobby — 100s of thousands signing, 10s of thousands lobbying MPs — and we’re getting close. Now we need to turn tough talk into action. Act now: actionnetwork.org/letters/expo...

It takes some nerve for a man on £5,093/hr to tell the 19‑year‑olds keeping his business running & producing over £1BN profit, that £10.85/hr is “unaffordable.” But Next CEO Simon Wolfson— Tory peer & major political donor— is doing just that...🧵 1/x 📖 bbc.in/43H9wOG

Here we go again. Household energy bills are expected to rise by more than £200 a year from July. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/m... As another crisis bites, we must refuse to pay AGAIN so the super‑rich can keep their yachts afloat 🛥️ you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ra...

⏰ Whilst the govt hits snooze, £394 Billion of dirty cash will work its way through the UK and its Overseas Territories. There's no time to waste, the UK needs to tackle its dirty money problem. Find out more: taxjustice.uk/campaign/dir...

Oops, he just said the quiet part out loud: cutting taxes for fossil fuel giants to l̶o̶w̶e̶r̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶b̶i̶l̶l̶s push their profits higher. We say tax excess profits, cut bills, build renewables, break free from fossil fuel doom-loops. Agree? Act now: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ra...

The UK’s tax code lets the richest pay less than workers. It’s time to close the loophole. Equalising Capital Gains with Income Tax would finally tax wealth like work. Our very own Joe Wright breaks down why right now the maths, and the morals don’t add up, on GB News.

When we say “tax the super‑rich”, people sometimes think we mean them. But unless you're very lucky— we really don't. The Wealth Tax we're advocating would be on assets over £10 Million. Who has that kind of money? Just 0.4% of the country.

As the Westminster drama continues... Let's not get lost in the sauce. Our problems aren't because of a few bad apples or bad judgements— it's because the system is set up to serve the powerful, not the public. Here's how we change that: taxjustice.uk/blog/how-to-...

Just a reminder: Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz agrees with us. Asking a Billionaires to live with 995 million won't end civilisation... But runaway inequality might.

UPDATE: Now we know that before this £11million for Reform, 6th richest Brit Christopher Harborne also gave Farage an undeclared £5 million gift. Sounds legit. Had enough of our democracy being bought up and bent out of shape by billionaires? Us too. Visit taxjustice.uk/NotForSale to act now.

Billionaire wealth has gotten wild. Maybe it’s because the richest are all over the party donor list, but nowhere to be seen on the Tax List... #RichList2026 📖 taxjustice.uk/blog/how-the...

Don’t fall for the scaremongering tantrums of the greedy few — most UK millionaires are proud to pay and here to stay. 🇬🇧💸✨ In fact... ❗75% of UK millionaires say they are willing to pay more tax to ensure the UK is a place they are proud to live in

🇬🇧 The UK has a dirty little secret… It’s really good at hiding dirty little secrets. In June, the UK hosts a global dirty‑money summit — but unless they face Britain’s own role, it’ll just be a meaningless talking shop. Head to taxjustice.uk/DirtyMoney to find out more.

Tax justice is an issue that unites people. Making the billionaires pay their fair share, placing checks and balances on the influence of the super-rich, and building an economy that meets our needs. TJUK Exec Director Faiza Shaheen on Good Morning Britain today 👏

They can't keep kicking the can down the road. The impact of the war on Iran is already biting in Britain. The gov must end the profiters' bonanza & protect people now. Thanks to @stevewitherdenmp.bsky.social for keeping the pressure on. ✍️ Sign our petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ra...

In 2019, 14 British Overseas Territories agreed to expose dirty money & dodgy dealings, by publishing public registers. 7 years later, only 2 out of 14 have delivered. Thanks Steff Aquarone MP for demanding action. Make sure your MP does the same: actionnetwork.org/letters/expo...

Pubic trust in politics has collapsed... because people aren't stupid. We can see the system doesn't work for us. It serves a tiny super-rich elite. Rebuilding that trust starts with taxing the super-rich fairly & kicking big money out of politics: taxjustice.uk/blog/how-to-...

Oh wow, the “Prince of Darkness” wasn’t squeaky clean? Truly shocking. But let’s not get lost in the Westminster drama, because this isn’t about a few bad actors... it’s about a system built to serve the powerful, not the public. Read more: bit.ly/3QcfML9

Fossil fuel giants, arms dealers, banks and big tech are set to make eye‑watering profits off the illegal war on Iran. We must say no to profiteering, protect people & break free from fossil fuels. Act now: bit.ly/4m3H7ej

The TJUK team were marching with the #TogetherAlliance on Saturday, because we refuse to be distracted by division and hate. The only way to fix our country is to tackle the dangerous levels of wealth inequality. Agree? Sign the petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sh...

The war on Iran must be a wake up call. The UK is dangerously over‑dependent on foreign fossil fuels. We must make the profiteers pay to insulate us from the next crisis— by taxing their excess profits to invest in domestic renewables. Our very own Caitlin Boswell on GBNews.

"Think back to a few years ago with the invasion of Ukraine, we saw a really similar thing happen [...] some people were getting much, much richer off the back of this crisis, while ordinary people were footing the bill." Our very own Caitlin Boswell on GBNews.

It's not immigrants undermining & underfunding our communities, its politicians & the super-rich. So, bring your kids, partners, friends & family and let's stand #together against hate. 📌 London 🗓️ 28 March Can't make it? ✍️ Sign our petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sh...

We’re done watching the super‑rich hoard wealth while the rest of us struggle & we won’t fall for scapegoating & division. ✍️ Sign the petition: www.taxjustice.uk/HopeAgain A message from our ED Faiza Shaheen, Daniel Kebede (@neunion.bsky.social) & Zak Coleman (@gndrising.bsky.social).

During every crisis, billionaires & megacorps get richer while the rest of us suffer 💸🔥 ⚠️ That’s not “inevitable”, it’s the result of political choices. ⚠️ As another crisis bites, we must refuse to pay AGAIN so the super‑rich can keep their yachts afloat 🛥️

Working for a living shouldn’t be taxed more than owning things for a living. Nobel Prize–winner Joseph Stiglitz calls out the injustice. The UK should listen and bring Capital Gains Tax rates in line with Income Tax rates & add NICs to profits from ownership too.

"Good taxation has to attack this growing inequality. [...] it's about fairness, it's about democracy, but its also about economic growth." Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz makes the case for #WealthTaxes at the recent EU Tax Symposium in Brussels.

💸 Everyone’s talking about wealth taxes. We can’t afford to let the super-rich keep hoarding obscene wealth whilst our country crumbles. That’s why 75% of the UK public back our wealth tax policy. Do you?

If a 2% Wealth Tax had been applied to the average global Billionaire they'd still have ended the year $384 million better off...

Want to know how a Wealth Tax would REALLY work? ⚠️ Spoiler⚠️ It does not involve “going door to door looking at people’s jewellery.” It would involve self‑declaration (just like inheritance tax) & a properly resourced HMRC to catch cheats. 👉 taxjustice.uk/blog/how-wou...

Household costs to rise even more? The war in Iran is pushing up oil and gas prices — and it shows how vulnerable the UK still is to fossil fuel shocks. 🧵Why this keeps happening and what we can do about it.

Far right hate is being fuelled by the greedy super rich. They're trying to distract us, they're trying to divide us. We will stand against hate. We will march #Together in love and unity. Join us. 📌 Central London 🗓️ Saturday, 28 March 🔗 www.togetheralliance.org.uk/

Our democracy is being bent out of shape by offshore cash, billionaire buyers and money nobody can trace... 🏝️🕵️‍♂️ 💸 If you’re done letting mystery money call the shots. Take action now: actionnetwork.org/letters/our-...

🇬🇧 50 UK families have more wealth than 34 million of us COMBINED. 🙃 Extreme wealth concentration is the crisis. Everything else is just a useful distraction for the billionaires bleeding us dry.

Why is the Home Sec so intent on copying Reform immigration policy? 🤔 If the Govt is looking for a popular policy that will actually help fix the UK's problems... A #WealthTax is backed by 61% Reform voters 81% LD voters 63% Tory voters 85% Green voters 88% Labour voters

Last week we shared some research showing Swedes missed their wealth tax. Well, it looks like the Danes do too...

Every childhood should be filled with the wonder & inspiration of visiting galleries & museums. 🖼️ 🏛️🏺🗿 Funding for arts and culture shouldn’t hinge on billionaire whims, but on a fair, sustainable tax system where the richest pay their share. 📺 Our very own Jake Atkinson on GBNews.

Sweden scrapping its wealth tax doesn’t prove it ‘didn’t work’ — it proves the rich and greedy got their way 😑💸 And now? There’s serious regret from the people living with the consequences. 🔗 bit.ly/3Mpyk9e

Who's really draining the public finances? 💸 The UK hasn’t been “colonised by immigrants” — it’s been hollowed out by greedy billionaires shifting profits offshore & dodging their taxes. People like... Sir Jim Ratcliffe. 👀

That continues a worrying trend for the UK over the last decade. @anticorruption.bsky.social cited record political donations from super‑rich backers, cash‑for‑access politics, aggressive lobbying & shrinking space for protest, journalism & people-powered campaigns the UK's downgrade... 2/3

💥 This is what happens when you question having to choose between supporting small businesses & pulling children out of poverty... Why are elite interests & tax dodging corporations a given & our communities' needs negotiable? Our ED on Jeremy Vine show.

⁉️ Why are many of the richest Brits missing from the list of the highest taxpayers? Funny how that works.

Taxing wealth fairly isn’t just about raising revenue — it’s about building a fairer and healthier economy, democracy and society. Catch our very own Jake Atkinson breaking it down on the Henry Bonsu show, on Times Radio.

Tinkering around the edges isn't going to fix the injustices at the heart of our tax system. Our Director, Faiza Shaheen, giving the Government a reality check on BBC Politics Live this week.

“This government is not taking inequality in this country seriously enough.” Our Director, Faiza Shaheen on BBC Politics Live this week, breaking down how special interests lobbying the government for the super-rich are drowning out everyone else.

We can’t have a wealth tax because **checks notes** the rich will use their children as money‑mules to smuggle cash to Morocco. 🩲💸✈️ 🇲🇦 A non‑AI‑generated clip (I promise) of 🎩 Lord Bethell (a.k.a. Cash’in Underpants) on BBC Politics Live explaining why a wealth tax wouldn’t work. 1/3

🥧 The super‑rich are at Davos carving up the world, and leaving the rest of us with crumbs. The 12 richest people in the world now have more wealth than the poorest 4 billion. So, we popped into @oxfamgb.bsky.social's pie shop, where everyone gets a fair slice, to talk about a #WealthTax.

Davos starts today. But it’s been seven years since Rutger Bregman said everything that needed saying… and the rich and powerful are still pretending like they haven’t heard a thing.

🐱📈 Happy Fat Cat Day! We’re less than a week into January and FTSE CEOs have already earned what the average worker will make in the year. And if a 113:1 pay disparity feels outrageous, remember: on average the richest 10% pay less of their income in taxes (39%) than the poorest 10% (48%) too.

📣 New York setting the tone for 2026, on day one. #TaxTheRich. Bernie Sanders electrified the crowds at Zohran Mamdani's inauguration with a clear message: invest in our communities by making the super rich and corporations pay their fair share. We're in.

Don't be duped into anger by the billionaire‑owned press ⚠️ 70% of cash from scrapping the two‑child limit will go to kids with at least 1 parent in work. The problem is wages (often paid by mega‑profitable corporations 💼) are too low to live on. #TaxTheSuperRich

🧐 A lot of powerful voices want you to think a wealth tax is some wild, untested idea. It’s not. In fact they already have them in 🇫🇷 France to 🇳🇴 Norway, 🇪🇸 Spain, 🇨🇭Switzerland, and beyond.

We said it before the Budget. And we're still saying it. 🏠 The mansion tax is a policy in the right postcode but it's the wrong address. It won't raise enough + it's messier and less targeted than a wealth tax. Caitlin Boswell, from our team, broke it down on BBC Politics Live.

🤞We get another shout out in Starmer's keynote conference speech this year. Hopefully he'll be a bit more complimentary, but we'll be making sure he can't ignore us at least! Let's make 2026 the year of the #WealthTax
