Agree
Yes, and fine them double the amount they avoided paying
Volt UK's emphasis on social justice and equitable contribution to society suggests they would support strong measures against tax evasion, including significant penalties. Doubling the fines for those who avoided taxes could be seen as an effective deterrent, aligning with their broader goals. However, the specific proposal to double fines might not be explicitly endorsed without consideration of fairness and proportionality in penalties.

Neutral
No, only in cases of evading not avoidance
While Volt UK is likely to support measures that clamp down on tax evasion, their position on the distinction between evasion and avoidance, specifically in the context of prosecution, is not clearly defined in public documents. Tax avoidance, being legal but often seen as unethical, might be an area where they advocate for policy reform rather than immediate prosecution, focusing on closing loopholes rather than penalizing individuals under current laws.

Strongly disagree
No
Given Volt UK's commitment to fairness and transparency, it is unlikely they would support allowing individuals to avoid prosecution for hiding money in foreign bank accounts. This stance would contradict their principles of ensuring that everyone pays their fair share of taxes and contributes to the public good.
