To Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee:

As concerned citizens across India, we call on you to defend our rights and prevent multinationals from dodging their fair share of taxes. We call on you to stand firm and introduce provisions in the forthcoming budget to recover back-taxes from Vodafone and other corporations, in the interest of fairness and broad-based development in India.

Stop Vodafone's tax theft

Vodafone is perpetrating a textbook case of tax evasion to the tune of 11,000 crore, hiding behind international shell companies. This fortune should fund India’s schools and roads, but it will only line foreign fat-cats’ pockets unless the Indian government closes this outrageous loophole today.

Finance Minister Mukherjee’s new budget provisions could change the law and recover the funds. But global business interests are ganging up on him – this week, they even sent the British Finance Minister to bully him into dropping the provision. If thousands of us stand together behind Minister Mukherjee now, we can shore up his resolve and win this battle for tax justice.

It’s time that foreign corporate greed stopped knee-capping India’s growth. Let’s urge Minister Mukherjee to close the Vodafone loophole now and stand up to claim what India is rightfully owed. Sign now, and when we reach 50,000 signatures, we’ll deliver the petition directly to Minister Mukherjee.
