This petition is closed This petition lasted 6 months The Tax Justice Network believes that our tax and financial systems are our most powerful tools to create a just society that gives equal weight to everyone`s needs. But under pressure from corporate giants and the super-rich, our governments have programmed these systems to put the richest above everyone else, linking financial secrets and tax havens to the heart of our global economy. This fuels inequality, fosters corruption and undermines democracy. We work to redress these injustices by inspiring and empowering people and governments to reprogram their tax and financial systems.

An interest-free moratorium on debt payments should apply automatically to developing countries affected by climate-related disasters in order to allow immediate access to resources that are already in the hands of the authorities and therefore do not need to be mobilized through lengthy commitments. This should be complemented by resources from the new fund and a predefined framework for restructuring the entire stock of existing external public debt, while leaving sufficient fiscal space for reconstruction to avoid future debt crises. To be effective, debt relief must be comprehensive and cover both private and public creditors. HMRC estimates that the UK`s largest companies have underpaid their taxes by £36 billion. This is money that should be spent on schools, hospitals and other public services. It is deeply unfair that larger corporations pay less tax while the government raises taxes on ordinary workers.
