Mandate no honours for individuals who use tax avoidance schemes

We believe it is reasonable to expect that all UK citizens contribute their fair share of tax to support public services and investment in the country. When individuals use tax avoidance schemes or relocate their tax affairs to minimise or eliminate UK tax contributions, they are not financially supporting the nation in the same way as ordinary taxpayers. We believe awarding honours to such individuals gives a misleading impression of their contribution and commitment to the UK and vindicates tax avoidance.
