When this government let Vodafone get away with not paying a £6bn tax bill earlier this year they sent a very clear message to UK citizens: we are not all in this together. Ordinary people must accept savage public spending cuts, whilst rich corporations can avoid paying billions and billions in tax.

It was not a one off. This government has slashed jobs at HM Revenue & Customs, making them impotent in the face of corporate tax avoidance. This certainly isn’t a money-saving measure: every pound invested in investigating tax avoidance brings £60 back to the public purse.

There can only be one explanation. David Cameron and his cabinet of millionaires must have decided that collecting tax from the rich is just another one of those pesky features of bloated big government. Like education, libraries, care for the elderly or disabled, creative arts, sports provision and even policing maybe tax collection is just another vital public service that would be best left to volunteers. In this spirit we are forming the Big Society Revenue and Customs (BSRC). Staffed by armies of citizen volunteers we will replace the HMRC and, in our own unique way, make sure that corporate tax avoiders pay.

Already, hundreds of people have hit the high streets in cities across the country to protest against Vodafone’s £6bn tax-dodge. In an incredible display of co-ordinated, spur-of-the-moment action around 30 Vodafone stores were blockaded and forced to close by angry citizens. “If you don’t pay your tax,” they chanted, “we’ll shut you down.”

This Saturday December 4th we will be taking to the high streets once again to escalate our action against Vodafone and take on a brand new tax-dodging target. As announced by the Guardian today, the new target is Britain’s most notorious tax-avoider, Sir Philip Green, and his vast retail empire. We need you!

On this website you will find all the information about both targets, all the resources you need to stage a protest, ideas for creative action, and most importantly the action centre, where you can join or organise you local action.

And if you find a moment to spare, go to the No. 10 website and nominate us* for a Big Society Award. We think we’re all going to deserve it.

Get prepared. Get excited. See you on the high streets.
