Campaigns to get corporations to pay the taxes they are legally supposed to and to close legal loopholes with regard to tax policies have made headlines over the last year. Amazon, Google and Vodafone amongst others have been in the spotlight for not paying a fair amount of tax in the UK. How have campaigners gone about publicising tax evasion? How successful have they been in calling corporations to account?
Guppi Bola is a Global Campaigner for the Essential Services team with Oxfam Great Britain.
Tim Street is an activist with UK Uncut, a grassroots activist organisation that highlights alternatives to the government’s spending cuts.
Clea Bourne teaches and researches on strategic communication and how it shapes dominant discourses, including those related to the financial sector. She is a lecturer in the Department of Media and Communications.
