Take action now to help end tax dodging

 

 

Ask the Irish government to support real corporate tax transparency.

 

In order to beat poverty for good we need to change the rules that allow corporations to dodge paying their fair share of tax. 

 

Currently, the global tax system drives inequality by allowing some companies to legally avoid paying tax.  Meanwhile, it is the poor – who are landed with higher tax bills and inadequate public services – that pay the price. 

 

Over the past two years, with the support of people across the island of Ireland, we’ve been campaigning to increase tax transparency by introducing public Country by Country Reporting, or pCBCR in the EU. If pCBCR was implemented, corporations would have to publish where they make profits and pay taxes - and this would make it much easier to lift the lid on tax dodging in the EU. 

 

Right now, we need to remind our government to support pCBCR and real corporate tax transparency.

 

Will you help us?

 

Together, we want to make as much noise as possible – please join us by tweeting the Minister for Finance @Paschald and the Minister of State @PatBreen1 to let them know we are serious about fighting the inequality caused by tax dodging and beating poverty for good. 

 

Tweet them now
