Anti-Corruption and Responsible Tax APPG

First Registered: 07/08/2020 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

To develop and advocate for policies which promote fair taxation and put a stop to corruption or financial crime. The APPG works not only for the headline fiscal purpose of increasing public revenue, but also for the wider purpose of ensuring that the public continues to have faith in the system. We are non-partisan and work to build consensus across the political divide.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
