Advocating Fair Taxation for Wages: Ensuring Decent Work and Income Equality

The initiative focuses on the adoption of the ILO Recommendation on Fair Taxation of Wages to enhance workers' disposable income by addressing tax burdens. It emphasizes fair taxation principles to eliminate discrimination, reduce poverty, and decrease social inequality between rich and poor. Key recommendations include tax exemptions for minimum income necessary for decent living, ensuring tax burdens on wages do not exceed those on other income types, and promoting tax justice to enhance purchasing power and market development.
