Target: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Ministry of Finance, Government of India
Goal: We urge the Government of India to implement progressive tax reforms that prioritize social welfare, public investment, and economic justice for all.
While the recent tax cuts may have pleased financial markets and foreign investors, they threaten to undermine the foundation of India's public services and social safety nets. Corporate tax breaks and reductions for the wealthy come at the expense of critical funding for healthcare, education, and infrastructure, which millions of Indians depend on.
Instead of deepening inequality and shifting the burden onto working people, India needs a fair tax system that ensures the wealthiest contribute their fair share. Progressive taxation is essential to fund vital services, reduce poverty, and build a more just society.
We call on the government to reverse regressive tax policies and commit to a tax system that puts people and communities first.
Key Demands
- Reverse recent corporate and high-income tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the wealthy.
- Increase public investment in healthcare, education, and social welfare using progressive tax revenue.
- Implement higher taxes on luxury goods, financial speculation, and large corporations.
- Strengthen tax enforcement to prevent evasion and ensure all pay their fair share.
- Engage in transparent, democratic consultation with civil society and workers' organizations on tax policy.
