Anti-cuts activists are geared up for protests across UK. In a move to underscore “tax avoiders”, the protestors are prepared to stage a day of action targeting the country’s leading stores like Top Shop, Vodafone and Boots as a major part of their program. In more than 30 cities and towns across UK, ahead of Monday’s tax return deadline, members of the UK Uncut group.

The movement is intended to make the government push in favour of taxing the rich and big companies instead of more budget cuts.

The protests would be held in various places across the country, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Aberdeen and Plymouth over tax arrangements.

The campaign, in many ways, is a clear indication to campaign against the government’s move to fine common people who miss to file the self-assessment tax returns within the deadline while many companies are evading tax. UK Uncut spokesperson Dannie Wright alleged that while ordinary people rush to file their tax papers, both rich individuals and corporations could easily get away without paying billions of tax each year. Accusations also indicated that the rich could employ host of lawyers and accountants to fill the loopholes of the law to dodge billions to be paid as tax.

While the government is pressing the public to cut spending and increasing VAT on necessary commodities, hit the poor and vulnerable in every possible way, it remained silent on the virtual impunity of tax evasion by the rich.
