The time has come for responsible tax payers to differentiate themselves from the avoiders and evaders, and lead the next big development in corporate responsibility.

As Margaret Hodge MP, and Chair of the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee said last year: “The reaction to the revelations about the tax practices of big names like Starbucks, Amazon and Google shows that this is an issue the public really cares about. Given the choice, many people would prefer to give their custom to a responsible business that does the right thing and pays its fair share of tax. The Fair Tax Mark helps give them the power to make that choice, and seeing customers vote with their feet is perhaps the most effective deterrent there is to companies engaging in tax avoidance or other irresponsible practices.”

This Conference will explore the development of the Fair Tax Mark and where it should go next. It will also look at the much needed legislative reforms that will ensure that the tax gaps that have developed in the UK and abroad are reined in.
