We imagine the EU as a place where future generations will thrive and where everyone will have equal opportunities. It is time to push for fair taxation and wealth redistribution to be able to make this a reality.
Everywhere around the world, the social gap has increased to unprecedented levels. Preferential tax regimes and tax avoidance are the main driving element, costing the EU 4.5 billion euros last year alone.
That’s why we believe that the first step to bring tax avoidance and evasion to an end is to know who owns what. We need a European wealth and asset registry and we need it now. We must clean up our own house and ensure that we lead by example in achieving tax justice.
