Let Vegans Redirect Taxes to Support Plant-Based Agriculture

The Issue

Allow vegans to opt-out of paying taxes that subsidise animal agriculture

Give vegans the option to opt out of paying taxes that subsidise an industry we are fundamentally against. It is against our beliefs and ethics (protected by the Equality Act of 2010) that we pay/fund such an industry with our hard earned taxes.

 


Vegans should be given the option to certify that their taxes do not contribute to the upkeep of animal agricultural industries. We want our taxes to subsidise plant-based foods instead of subsidising animal agriculture. This will ensure that our taxes are not only spent on a food system that aligns with our beliefs but also increases and funds plant based food production, so this healthier and more environmentally friendly food system grows in popularity and accessibility. 

This is not only positive for our planet but also our health as humans and the welfare of animals, which is what vegans strive to achieve in their everyday lives.
