Tax Justice
As well as the money we save, spend, and invest, the tax system we all engage with and the government policies that shape it have a huge impact on the world around us.
Our Church Action for Tax Justice campaign stands for a fairer, greener tax system where taxes are set to reflect the Common Good, and individuals and corporations pay their fair share. We believe that tax should not be seen as a burden; it’s a way of showing love for neighbour, care for creation and creating the type of society we find in the teachings of Jesus and the prophets.
In the context of increasing global and national inequality as well as unprecedented environmental challenges, it is now more important than ever that churches and individuals stand up for a more compassionate system.
Speak out
We are calling on the UK Government to introduce an initial one-off wealth tax on the country’s richest individuals. We believe it’s time we created a tax system that enabled the wealthiest in society to pay their fair share.

We send out regular updates about our tax justice work as part of our fortnightly JustMoney communications including campaign opportunities, reflections, and events.
