Campaigners and activists are calling for increased taxes on the wealthiest individuals and corporations to address climate change and economic inequality in the UK. Additionally, a proposed tax on superyachts and private jet fuel could raise £2 billion annually, according to Oxfam. Green MP Ellie Chowns supports taxing oil and gas giants to fund climate action. The richest 0.1% in Britain emit significantly more pollution than lower earners, highlighting the need for wealth taxes and higher VAT on luxury goods. The 50 richest families in Britain are worth £500 billion, and a 1% tax on the top 1% could raise around £25 billion a year, according to Andy Green.
