The British Virgin Islands – and the shadowy tax dodgers that hide their extreme wealth there – are trying to stop financial transparency dead in its tracks.

The British Virgin Islands – the world’s biggest corporate tax haven – is trying to dodge reforms that would reduce tax abuse.

This will help tackle tax abuse, as well as more effectively respond to global crises of poverty & climate change, at a time when levels of finance are failing to keep pace with need. The UK clubbing together with just a few rich nations to oppose this sends the wrong signal.

Surging inequality causes disengagement with society and democracy. This is “a strategic risk” to the UK, according to experts. Billionaires are a threat to democracy – taxing them more is the only solution.

"We have been listening to the concerns that have been raised by the non-dom community" – the Chancellor Rachel Reeves. What about the concerns of normal people who pay their tax and can't get a GPs appointment, or are on a waiting list, or whose child is in a crumbling school?
While victims of systemic failures like the Horizon scandal wait decades for justice, the Govt seems to be bending over backwards for the wealth defence lobby. Extending tax breaks for nondoms is a slap in the face to hardworking ppl who play by the rules

Extreme wealth is extreme control over politicians. We need to tax the tech oligarchy to curb their power.

“A super-rich elite is determining the outcome of elections purely to protect their vested interests and accelerate profits... they manage what we read, what we watch, the information we’re given” – actor Brian Cox
New poll of nearly 3000 millionaires from 20 richest economies shows widespread concern. Nearly ⅔’s think the influence of the super rich on Trump’s presidency is a threat to global stability. Oligarchy cannot be born from the political fear of upsetting the super rich
