PETITION READS

Responsible department: Her Majesty's Treasury

We applaud campaigns by trade unions, church groups, and civil society
demanding tax justice and join them in calling on the Government to take 
action to identify those avoiding and evading tax.

Firstly, the Chancellor should force all multinational companies filing 
accounts in the UK to reveal their use of tax havens and publish what 
profits they earn and what tax they pay in each country in which they 
operate, without exception.

Secondly, banks should be required by law to give details of all 
accounts they maintain for companies operating in the UK so HMRC and 
Companies House can chase any companies who pretend to be dormant to 
evade tax.

These two simple changes could help recover billions of pounds of lost 
tax for the UK by revealing those hiding their income from view.
