In this episode on fairness and how fiscal systems work, Miranda talks to Mike Lewis, the director of Tax Watch. Mike doesn’t have a traditional background in tax or policy; he cut his teeth working as a criminal financial investigator and sanctions expert for the UN — a fitting training ground for his role as Director of Tax Watch.

Mike and Tax Watch investigate, research and publish on the UK tax system, highlighting the unfair and the absurd. Their findings are sobering — offering up-to-date takes on the fiscal system and people’s attitudes to tax — but they also propose solutions and alternatives. Tax systems can change, and do.
