Corbyn’s tax crackdown ‘spells end to austerity’
A CRACKDOWN on tax avoidence proposed by Jeremy Corbyn yesterday could end austerity politics at a stroke, according to economist Richard Murphy.
In a speech on economic policy, Mr Corbyn set out plans to collect the £120 billion lost every year through tax avoidance, evasion and uncollected tax debt.
He promised a tough anti-avoidance law, the closure of tax relief exploited by the rich and a complete reversal of staffing cuts at HM Revenue and Customs.
