Tax is an issue which none of us can avoid. It can spark furious debate, be the cause of sleepless nights, and it’s just hastened the demise of a prime minister and her government. Few of us relish paying tax, but most accept that it’s the price of living in a society. But can it ever be made fair? How much should the well-off be paying? And how is a religious faith meant to shape how its followers approach such questions? Roy Jenkins is joined by four guests to discuss the issues. Rebecca Reading is a tax specialist and partner at Lewis Golden. She’s been a tax director for Price Waterhouse Cooper and Tata Steel. Ross Hendry is the CEO of CARE (Christian Action, Research and Education.) He trained in economics, and has held a variety of positions dealing with public policy. Sue Richardson is a Catholic and Chair of ‘Church Action for Tax Justice’, whose latest campaign appeals for a one-off wealth tax on the country’s richest people. Andy Hartropp is an economist and an Anglican minister, he’s the author of ‘God’s Good Economy.’
