Money launderers and tax evaders! Are you tired of having to tell the UK government about the property you own? Great news! Because there’s a simple way to hide the fact you own that mansion in Mayfair. But… uh oh, the government is consulting on abolishing your loophole. 🧵

Time to get serious. We are today publishing a briefing on trusts, the mysterious legal vehicles that let some very wealthy people own property & land without anyone ever finding out who they are. In this 🧵we’ll explain how this works, why it matters, and what needs changing.

And as the consultation acknowledges - trusts now behave like companies in many ways, with many of the same advantages. Our briefing makes a simple argument. If you own property via a trust, your details should be available on the same terms as the rest of us.

The consultation is here gov.uk/government/con… Our briefing is here: centreforpublicdata.org/blog/who-reall… We’ll publish our full consultation response soon. If you have thoughts on this, we’d love to hear from you!
