We support the IFS's call to abolish three key inheritance tax reliefs (used primarily by the very rich).

It could raise £3 billion a year, and make the whole system fairer.

£100s of billions are lost globally every year to tax avoidance – disappearing into the offshore accounts of the super rich.

These are £ billions that should be being used for public services around the world.

Here's how we can change that: taxjustice.uk/blog/how-does-…

Today's inflation figures tell us nothing about the reality of the cost of living crisis.

We know that in the real world, the cost of essentials is still unbearably high, incomes have barely moved in real terms for years and families are struggling. 🧵

Our view on Labour's pledge to tackle tax avoidance:

They must go futher.

Pressure is mounting on them to pursue higher taxes on the very rich – to provide more investment for public services.

There are 55 billionaires in the UK.

A 1% wealth tax on them and the very richest could raise £22bn a year.

Enough to pay 276,000 nurses AND double dental funding in England, with change to spare.
