PCS Union's Tax Gap Battle PCS Campaign Banner

The government claims there is no alternative to the austerity agenda while failing to close a tax gap that loses the UK economy £120 billion a year. However PCS (the Public Services and Commercial Union) have launched a very interested report by Richard Murphy director of Tax Research UK for PCS reveals the true extent of tax evasion and what can be done about it, please download the Tax Gap report: tax_gap_report_2014.pdf

PCS point out that: Jobs and pay are being cut, benefits slashed and public services closed. Small businesses are strugging to survive on our high streets, while the multinationals that dominate them are allowed to pay little or no tax. The highest earners get a tax cut while low earners see their income fall below the cost of living. They want a fair tax system and are campaigning for: A closing of the tax gap, more staff in HMRC, the government department responsible for assessing, enforcing and collecting taxes - making those most able pay their fair share of taxes.
