Paper on Business Rate reform sent to HM Treasury

A paper which largely draws on policy drafted by ALTER and approved by Party Conference in 2007 has been sent to HM Treasury's Commercial Property Tax Team, at their request. This followed a meeting in HM Treasury, attended by ALTER's Dr Tony Vickers, that was set up before the General Election by the cross-party Coalition for Economic Justice (CEJ). Subsequent to that meeting, CEJ wrote a pre-Budget submission to Chancellor George Osborne, copying the letter to Vince Cable.

Prospect Magazine publishes article advocating Land Value Taxation

The excellent political monthly Prospect has published an opinion piece that we hope will bring LVT to a wider audience. Written by Phillippe Legrain, who is to bring out a book "Afershock: reshaping the world economy after the crisis" in May, it gives a brief overview of the economic and social justice arguement. The article is at the Prospect webite (subcription only) but anyway the magazine is always worth buying. See http://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/2010/03/tax-the-ground-they-walk-on-2.
