  • All-Party Parliamentary Group on Anti-Corruption and Responsible TaxSubject Group

    To develop and advocate for policies which promote fair taxation and put a stop to corruption or financial crime. The APPG works not only for the headline fiscal purpose of increasing public revenue, but also for the wider purpose of ensuring that the public continues to have faith in the system. We are non-partisan and work to build consensus across the political divide.
