12 June, 2013There is increasing understanding that tax dodging by big corporations undermines public spending and equality in both developed and developing countries.
Working together across borders, Global Alliance for Tax Justice partners support each other in a variety of tax justice campaigns, including to end tax havens, tax avoidance and corruption, and to bring in progressive tax systems that are enforced, including financial transactions taxes that curb speculation.
Join with the world’s foremost labour, NGO, faith, environmental and other civil society organisations in the growing global campaign for tax justice. Please sign the pledge now to support this campaign, and send a strong message to world leaders about the united strength and commitment of our organisations in working together to achieve tax justice. Sign now at www.gatj.org.
The full list of signatories will be publicized next week in connection with World Public Services Day (23 June), and be shared with government leaders at upcoming G8 and G20 meetings.
People around the world, from the south to the north, are raising their voices in a united demand: it’s time for tax justice.
- Tax justice must be put into action to end poverty, inequality and climate change.
- Multinational corporations, financiers and the very rich must pay their fair share of taxes.
- National and international systems that support tax avoidance and tax havens must be stopped.
- Governments must enforce fair, progressive and transparent tax administration.
- It’s time for the people of every country to receive our fair share in public services and social protection.
