Leeds Against The Cuts Demonstration called for Saturday 11 December 2010 at 12:00

The Leeds Against the Cuts group have called for a demonstration on Saturday 11 December 2010 at 12:00 specifically focused on the issue of Tax Justice.

The hypocrisy of the coalition government needs to be exposed. HMRC has accepted that over £40 billion in tax is lost to fraud and avoidance every year. PCS and many other tax analysts believe that this figure is much higher in the region of £120 billion.

The cuts aren't inevitable and the coalition government needs to stop unnecessary tax repayments and close all tax avoidance loop holes.

George Osbourne can start by paying the correct amount of tax himself and by ensuring that Philip Green the owner of the Arcadia group and government advisor of the cuts pays his fair share of tax too!
