Proud to pay
our taxes.
Letter to Rishi Sunak
We are writing to you as a group of UK wealth holders.
We understand the immense pressure on the Treasury to deal with crises both present and future - from inequality, to Covid, to climate change. We know there will be high expectations for you to find the money needed.
We know where you can find that money - tax wealth holders like us. We can afford to contribute more, and we want to invest in repairing and improving our shared services. We are proud to pay our taxes to reduce inequality, support stronger social care and the NHS, and to ensure that we’re building a more just and green society.
The cost of recovery cannot fall on the young or on those with lower incomes. There are many of us - people with wealth - who will support a more progressive system of taxation, and we urge you to do the same.
When deciding on how to meet the financial gap, look to us. Repairing our country is more valuable than growing our wealth.
