The case for wealth taxation in the UK. A talk by Caitlin Boswell.
About the talk
With wealth inequality spiralling and an ongoing cost of living crisis intensified by the war on Iran, this talk will consider the case for a wealth tax in the UK, as well as forms of taxation supportive of climate action. The talk will also focus on the wider political context we find ourselves in, with the rising popularity of both the Greens and Reform, the implications this has for the wealth tax debate, and set out why Tax Justice UK believes this to be the right moment for progressive tax reform.
