Democracy activist Gina Miller will call for a crackdown on tax loopholes today, backed by the creation of a new Fair Tax Office, as she unveils the first list of candidates to fight the general election for her True and Fair party.

Ms Miller, who defeated Boris Johnson's government in court over Brexit, will be among the first group of nine candidates and will take the seat of a prominent former Conservative cabinet minister.

She said tax policy reforms and improved tax and customs funding could bring in 5.6 billion pounds sterling a year, enough to pay nearly 170,000 nurses.

The True and Fair Party aims to field around 30 candidates in the elections due in 2024, mostly ordinary citizens who want reform in the british political system

In a ‘draft white paper’ on tax reforms, the party leader will outline plans to save almost £2.2billion by replacing controversial non-dom status for the wealthy hy foreign nationals living in the UK with a less generous 'route of domicile'

She will propose a £200million increase in funding for HMRC to enable the agency to collect an additional £3 billion in tax. And she will call for a crackdown on 'umbrella agencies' and the interest loophole to save another £600million.

Ms Miller told The Independent >: "Closing just a few tax loopholes and properly staffing the over-resourced HMRC would pay the salaries of nearly 170,000 nurses or help millions pay their energy bills. This benefit, can only help the economy.

"It's a shame the government is playing around with taxation, rather than focusing on how fair taxation can boost public services and growth."
