IF Tax campaign

Take action on tax dodging
Tens of thousands of us took action ahead of the Budget - pressing the government to keep their promise on aid and to tackle the tax dodgers in poor countries. We made the government act on a 43-year-old promise on life-saving aid. We made this first IF happen.

But we’ve still got more big IFs to tackle. So far they haven’t delivered on their tough talk and made big companies spill the beans on the taxes they owe overseas.

There’s still a chance to change this. The Finance Bill, which makes the Budget law, is being debated in Parliament right now. IF enough MPs call for it to be amended, we can still get the changes developing countries urgently need to clamp down on tax dodging and get the money to fight hunger.
