Irish tax policies and human rights deprivation overseas
Using the Government Revenue and Development Estimations (GRADE) and the State of Tax Justice 2023 (SOTJ2023) report to translate the impact of revenue losses due to Irelands’ contribution to global tax losses on human rights, it was found that every day, Irish tax policies deprive
- more than one million people of their right to basic sanitation
- more than half a million of their right to basic water.
- more than 120,000 children their right to attend school.
- three children’s right to life.
