The taxpayers’ movement arose from citizens’ desire to protect themselves against the state’s increasing tax demands.

The Taxpayers Association of Europe (TAE) is an alliance of 29 national taxpayers’ organisations and has over one million members.

The TAE works towards creating a society with lower taxation and greater personal freedom. The TAE aims to achieve greater efficiency in the public sector.

The TAE influences legislation to limit the tax burden. It seeks to prevent unfair abuses by tax officials and to ensure clear information on taxation.

The TAE fights against public waste.
