6/ "1) Biggest wealth transfer in American history. 2) Kills solar industry, raising prices 3) almost a trillion dollar cut to Medicaid 4) nursing homes shutting down 5) energy shortages 6) 4.5 trillion in NEW DEBT. — I promise you this bill is worse than you think." - @brianschatz.bsky.social

It's clear this idea has wide support. An objective International Panel on Inequality with experts from around the world to advise governments, examine current inequality data and look for areas that need more research. Similar to the IPCC. The time is now. apnews.com/article/glob...

We've missed out on nearly $30BN in tax from tax cheating mega-corporations & from under-taxing extreme wealth as we enter Day 5 of #COP30 & #UNtaxConvention negotiations. A better future is possible when we use tax to protect people, economies & planet. #TaxForClimate taxjustice.net/topics/un-ta...

Important moment from yesterday's #UNTaxConvention negotiations: India provided the definitive response to the (decade-long) attempt by OECD countries to subvert the definition of illicit financial flows by retrospectively removing corporate tax abuse from scope taxjustice.net/2025/11/14/i...

It's day 4 of #COP30 & #UNtaxConvention negotiations, & so far we've missed out on $21 billion in tax to tax cheating multinational corporations & to the under-taxation of extreme wealth. The problem isn't scarcity, it's weakened tax sovereignty. #ChangeTaxNotClimate taxjustice.net/topics/un-ta...

The outcome of these talks – a world-first United Nations tax convention – will impact every one of us, wherever we are in the world, and shape people’s lives for generations to come. It’s not just trillions of dollars on the line, but our democracies, human rights and planet.

It's the second day of the Nairobi negotiation session of the UN tax convention. You can find all sorts of resources including our daily updates on the discussions here taxjustice.net/topics/un-ta...

#COP30 is underway as countries debate how to fund real climate action. The question isn’t just what they commit to, but who pays. Meanwhile in Nairobi, talks on #UNTaxConvention may give nations the power to raise fair, reliable finance for #ClimateJustice & sustainable dev.

The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service are issuing rules that provide hundreds of billions of dollars in tax relief to big companies and the ultrarich. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

Next round of UN global tax negotiations are kicking off in Nairobi next Monday. Useful primer here to get up to speed thanks to Tax Justice Network @alexcobham.bsky.social et al taxjustice.net/topics/un-ta...

🗣️ Yesterday, MPs of all stripes spoke out against the ongoing financial secrecy in certain UK Overseas Territories. They called urgent attention to its devastating impacts on their constituents, and pushed the government to act. 🧵⬇️

The world is at a fork in the road. One path leads to tax subjugation under Trump & US multinationals, while the other leads to a collective defence of tax sovereignty at the UN that protects every country’s taxing rights. @alexcobham.bsky.social#UNtaxConvention #TaxJustice2025 bit.ly/taxjustice25

It's terrible.

The State of Tax Justice 2025 is out today. Find out who has been keeping us in the dark about the scale of corporate tax abuse, and just how much it has cost us all

We have the right to know which multinational corporations cheated on over a trillion in tax. Our governments had the tax records but didn’t make them public. Doing so could’ve recover hundreds of billions in tax #NameTheTaxCheaters #TaxJustice2025 Find out more: bit.ly/49wNnH0

Tomorrow, we'll be publishing the 2025 edition of our State of Tax Justice report, revealing new findings on countries' tax losses to global tax abuse. Journalists interested in the report are welcome to contact us at [email protected]. #TaxJustice2025

A mammoth day for the Patriotic Millionaires yesterday! 1⃣ 20 of our members headed to Westminster to lobby their local MPs and share our Urgent Memo on fair taxation.

"From Gaza to the Amazon, lives are treated as expendable in a system built on sacrifice. Not everything that’s green shines. False solutions sustain colonial power. We must mobilise political will and move resources through just taxation to fund survival, not destruction.”

Tax the super-rich. Rewrite the rules and unrig the system. Raise billions for our communities, for healthcare and making people's lives better. Here's ten policies the Chancellor adopt, to make the tax system work for everyone taxjustice.uk/blog/how-to-...

Global experts call for just taxation to fund climate action taxjustice.net/press/global...

You thought PL clubs partnering with "opaque" (unlicensed, unregulated and illegal) Asian-facing sports betting operators would soon be a thing of the past? Think again.

Changes afoot in UK. Mere weeks ago, the Prime Minister referred to the wealth tax campaign as selling 'snake oil'. But today, the Chancellor says taxes on wealthy will rise, echoing the campaign's debunking of the millionaire exodus myth (lobbyist "bleating"!) www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“Oil & gas giants shift nearly a 3rd of their profits to tax havens, draining billions from developing countries, money needed for climate adaptation, health, & education. They must be taxed where profits are made, not where they’re hidden. A #UNTaxConvention can make that real.”

“The fossil fuel industry is still being rewarded for driving the climate crisis. We must end fossil fuel tax subsidies, reform international tax rules, & strengthen transparency. Our opponents are powerful — we can’t afford to be divided.” @zorkamilin.bsky.social @factcoalition.bsky.social

Without paying much attention (long time since I had to read Aghion & Howitt), I vaguely imagined the Nobel economics panel had decided to go for something less controversial than last year's dubious treatment of colonial growth dynamics. But it turns out they're continuing the theme with Mokyr...

“#TaxJustice is inseparable from the history of colonialism. Wealth taxes must act not only as economic tools, but as reparative justice, essential to decolonising the global economy & meeting historic responsibilities for the #ClimateCrisis.” Ohene Yaw Ampofo-Anti, SAIFAC

A must-read here for NGOs which engage with big business. How corporations work to capture multi-stakeholder initiatives and play them off against each other.

Just one more thing... #IndigenousPeoplesDay

In advance of tomorrow's match between Italy and Israel, here again is my and @antoineduval.bsky.social piece in @josimarfootball.bsky.social on the serious governance failures that mean Israel is still allowed to compete. And no, the peace-plan changes nothing josimarfootball.com/2025/10/06/m...

Coloniality 101: “…we have a crime without criminals, a genocide without génocidaires, a wretched population who…must be fed and watered while the world works out what to do with them. And now an explicit rejection of Palestinian self-determination…again ”. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

'We as a movement are small, but powerful, because we are right. You have the power to change the narrative in Scotland. I want to see people not complaining about the next crisis, but how to fix it, and that starts with tax' @alexcobham.bsky.social tells the #TaxJusticeScotland conference

'Tax is our social superpower' says @alexcobham.bsky.social of the global @taxjustice.net tells the #TaxJusticeScotland conference. 'Every second I've been talking, the equivalent of a nurse's salary is lost to a tax haven' Think of what that money could do globally.

Delighted to be joining the inaugural event of Tax Justice Scotland today - another great organisation joining the global movement to strengthen national tax sovereignty so we can all benefit from the role of tax as our social superpower - letting us lead better, healthier, happier lives together
