We’re taking action for tax justice!

The fair share commitment

People around the world, from the south to the north, are raising their voices in a united demand: it’s time for tax justice.

• Tax justice must be put into action to end poverty, inequality and climate change.
• Multinational corporations, financiers and the very rich must pay their fair share of taxes.
• National and international systems that support tax avoidance and tax havens must be stopped.
• Governments must enforce fair, progressive and transparent tax administration.
• It’s time for the people of every country to receive our fair share in public services and social protection.

In signing this declaration, we call on world and community leaders, organisations and people to join together to take action – we demand that governments deliver tax justice now!

Please sign online at the Global Alliance for Tax Justice www.gatj.org  and ask your member organisations to sign now as well.
