I will put to the witnesses what I put to the OECD and to the witnesses before the committee last week, which is that the underlying or maybe overarching thesis of the commission's report is that we need to broaden the tax base and that we need to do that for a number of very pressing reasons such as the climate crisis, demographics and services requirements. What is the witnesses' response to that general principle that we need a higher tax take and we need to broaden the tax base?
