Welcome to the TAX JUSTICE NETWORK,
a network devoted to securing tax justice for citizens everywhere. the
network promotes research to draw attention to aggressive tax
avoidance/evasions schemes operated by
corporations and a wealthy elite, both Onshore and Offshore. These
schemes enable companies and the rich to avoid paying their fair share
of taxes by
shifting burdens to the less well off. They cause poverty, degradation
and
economic under development everywhere. They facilitate wealth
transfers from the poor to the rich and present a challenge to any
notion of democracy. For evidence see OFFSHORE WATCH
.
The global TAX JUSTICE NETWORK
grew out of the European Social Forum in Florence in late 2002, and the
World Social Forum in Porto Alegre in early 2003. The network consists
of individuals and organizations from around the world, and seeks to
rally support and encourage debate around its DECLARATION.
