The B Team Responsible Tax Principles help forge a new consensus around responsible corporate tax policy and practice. The Principles address key areas including corporate governance, relationships with authorities and transparency. By endorsing the principles, companies take a bold step toward responsible tax—and demonstrate the value of corporate tax to corporate sustainability.

Companies that endorse our Responsible Tax Principles commit to tax transparency in the form of public reporting. Meaningful tax reporting promotes dialogue and understanding and helps build trust—but there remains no consensus on what this looks like. We examined how businesses are reporting and distilled eight key lessons that can help shape a meaningful approach to tax transparency.
