at

lowering

is
the

22. What will 2014 bring?

23. The undersigned parties support
the mission of the Ex’tax Project
Foundation
to thoroughly research the
opportunities and effects of
a shift in taxation from labour to
natural resources.
This shift is vital for a circular
economy; an economy that
enables current and future
generations to create
sustainable prosperity,
based on human capital rather
than natural resources.
Taxing natural resource use
(such as carbon, water, metals
and minerals) creates the
necessary financial incentives to
save those resources. Lower
taxes on labour will make it
possible to tap into the
abundance of human capital,
thus creating jobs, deminishing
unemployment.
We call upon businesses,
governments and NGOs to take
the necessary steps towards a
robust and sustainable tax
system.
