Tell Osborne to keep his promise

Step 1:

We've got just a few days to make sure that Britain's wealthiest people shoulder their fair share of the burden for reducing the deficit.

Around £1 billion a year is lost through tax avoidance as a result of lower Capital Gains Tax rates. The coalition government promised to fix this broken part of our tax system, but now George Osborne might break his promise due to pressure from the right-wing.

Email George Osborne now, asking him not to backtrack on Capital Gains Tax.

	Dear George Osborne, Increasing Capital Gains Tax to be in line with income tax will make the tax system fairer, and stop the wealthy avoiding their fair share of tax. As a key part of the Coalition Agreement, I am very worried that you may now backtrack on this promise following pressure from Conservative backbenches and some sections of the media. With huge public spending cuts to be announced in the Emergency Budget, it is important that the wealthiest people in Britain also contribute to reducing the deficit. Thank you, [Your Name]
	Sincerely, [Your Name]
