MP Jonathan Edwards Carmarthenshire MP Jonathan Edwards has tabled a Parliamentary Motion supporting the proposal of two Berkeley University (Calafornia) academics, Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman, to introduce a 0.2 per cent levy on the value of stocks held by companies based in G20 countries. Mr Edwards said the aftermath of the Coronavirus pandemic must herald a combined international global effort to combat tax evasion and avoidance by large multinational companies, especially as the pandemic had strengthened their positions as a result of changing consumer behaviour. Mr Edwards said, governments across the world faced a fiscal crisis unless there was greater tax justice when it comes to corporate wealth. He called on the British Government to lead on the introduction of the policy which could be introduced swiftly if G20 States were to agree.
