  • Introducing theTaxing Wealth Report 2024
    Apr 5 2024

    The Taxing Wealth Report 2024 explains how by making up to 30 relatively simple changes to the UK tax system up to £92 billion of additional tax and more than £100 billion of funds for investment could be made available to fund public services in the UK - which is more than any politician could imagine that they need.

    The aim is threefold. First, the Report proves that the claim that 'there is no money left' is wrong. Second, it shows that the wealthy and well-off in the UK really are undertaxed. Third, it shows that solving the problem of funding the society that we need is not hard to achieve.

It really is time that we stopped trying to manage the economy on the basis of bogus data.
