People don’t trust the government on tax justice and they’re right not to do so as we’re living in a tax haven now

Posted on

The Guardian has reported new polling by the Coop Party on tax justice related issues. As they note:

Boris Johnson's government lacks public trust to tackle global tax avoidance despite mounting pressure for reform, at a time when US technology companies such as Amazon and Google have been reporting bumper profits during the Covid-19 pandemic.

A poll of more than 2,000 adults in the UK found less than a third trust the prime minister and the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, to take on big business interests as part of a crackdown on tax avoidance.

As they added:

The lack of public faith comes as pressure mounts on world leaders to reform the global tax system to end decades of abuse by multinational firms, after a landmark intervention by Joe Biden last month.

I am sure people offered honest opinio0n.

I am quite sure that a majority do not trust the government in this issue, and with good reason in my opinion given that the UK is almost alone in not coming out in support of this plan.

But sufficient people will vote for their corruption to make sure it will extend to scuppering this plan, I expect.

That;'s what pariah states do, and this is now tax haven England.
