Pitching ideas for tax reform

Venue: Institute for Government

Date: 9 Oct 2019

Synopsis: Successive British governments have failed to address well-known problems with the tax system. The Institute for Government is looking at why it has been so hard to make significant, sensible reforms to the tax system, and what could be changed to make this easier in future.
