MPs and MEPs across West Yorkshire will be receiving letters from church leaders calling for action for tax justice.
The letters will be delivered by tomorrow to coincide with Poverty and Homelessness Action Week.
Senior church leaders and representatives of West Yorkshire Ecumenical Council (WYEC) will write the letters, addressing issues of tax evasion and tax loopholes.
The letters will also call for greater resources and action to be taken to prosecute those engaged in tax evasion.
The 14 signatories were keen to point out that tax dodging, in its various forms, is an injustice that keeps some people poor while others get richer.
Chairmthe Rt Rev Tony Robinson, said: “Tax avoidance denies help to the poorest and most vulnerable people both here in the UK and in developing countries.
“This is morally unacceptable.
“As representatives of the churches of West Yorkshire we call on our politicians to take action to ensure multinational corporations pay their rightful share of tax in the countries they operate”.
