Latest news on the Wealth Tax
The Wealth Tax proposes a one-off tax of 20% on the wealthiest 10% of the population in the UK.
This would pay off the national debt and avoid the need for deep and harmful cuts in education, welfare and public services. It is a serious alternative to what is being proposed and carried out by the Coalition government.
Our most recent work on alternatives to the government cuts can be found in the Wealth Tax section. We have also developed a free Media Kit for anyone and everyone to use in conjunction with the Wealth Tax, to help get the anti-cuts message into the media. Visit the Media Kit section to find out more, or download it here.
The Wealth Tax has been back in the news recently with Polly Toynbee's article for The Guardian in October 2011 (read it here) and Greg Philo's appearance on Newsnight Scotland (BBC2, 18 October). Greg Philo's recent letter to the Guardian concerning the Wealth Tax can also be read here. The Wealth Tax is also mentioned in Martin Cloake's recent article for AOL which can be read here.
