At a recent Council meeting, councillors agreed to approve the Fair Tax Foundation’s Councils for Fair Tax Declaration.

The declaration commits cities, towns and districts to pursuing exemplary tax conduct in their affairs, require greater transparency from suppliers and join calls for more meaningful powers to tackle tax avoidance amongst suppliers when buying goods and services. 

Councillor Louise Gittins, Leader of the Council, said: “We want to make it clear that Cheshire West and Chester Council strongly supports the principles of fair tax and wants to lead by example.  Local government has a proud history of standing up for responsible conduct and this declaration is another important step.”
