Tax Justice Network

What Tax Justice Network does

Tax Justice Network (TJN) is an independent, UK-registered non-profit research and advocacy organization founded in 2003 that addresses global tax abuse, corporate tax avoidance, and financial secrecy. It is headquartered in Bristol, UK (registered office) and operates as a fully virtual organization with 11–50 staff working remotely across multiple countries. TJN's primary constituents are governments and policymakers (its main served segment), international organizations such as the UN, and a global network of civil society actors and citizens across more than 100 countries; institutional adopters include the FBI and Five Eyes law enforcement agencies, which use TJN's proprietary indexes in investigations.

TJN's core technology and products are a portfolio of proprietary research indexes, data portals, and reports built around a 'research and data analysis platform focused on international tax and financial regulation.' Flagship products include the Financial Secrecy Index, the Corporate Tax Haven Index, the Bilateral Financial Secrecy Index, the newly launched Real Estate Secrecy Index (June 2026), the State of Tax Justice annual report, the Tax Justice Policy Tracker, and the Tax Justice Data Portal. The organization also distributes content via multilingual podcasts (English, Portuguese, French, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi) and the Tax Justice Focus publication. There are no patents, no proprietary AI/ML models, and no API or SDK offerings; the technical moat is in the curated datasets and the methodology behind the indexes, not in software infrastructure.

TJN is funded entirely through grants and donations, with named institutional donors including NORAD (Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation) and the Open Society Foundation; individual donations are also accepted via the website. Pricing is not applicable — research, indexes, and tools are distributed freely — so the revenue model is best characterized as philanthropic/grant-based. GTM is community-led: TJN influences policy and public discourse through research, coalition building, advocacy at the UN (notably the Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation), direct testimony before legislative bodies such as the Australian Senate, and media campaigns rather than commercial sales.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Global Financial Integrity: U.S.-based research and advocacy organization focused on illicit financial flows. Closely comparable to TJN in mission, methodology, and policy engagement on financial secrecy and capital flight.
• European Tax Observatory: Academic-led research initiative producing corporate tax-haven metrics and policy analysis. Directly comparable as a tax-transparency research counterpart, particularly on EU-relevant data products.
• Financial Transparency Coalition: International civil society coalition focused on illicit financial flows and beneficial ownership transparency. Directly comparable coalition/movement-building model and policy focus.
• Transparency International: Global anti-corruption NGO publishing the Corruption Perceptions Index and related governance tools. Comparable mission, scale, and data-driven advocacy approach, though broader than tax.
• International Centre for Tax and Development (ICTD): Research-focused organization studying taxation in developing countries. Directly comparable research mission, especially in the Global South where TJN is expanding.
• ActionAid: International NGO with a long-running tax justice campaign focused on developing-country revenues. Comparable advocacy-led model and similar grassroots-to-multilateral policy engagement.
• Christian Aid: UK-based international development NGO with a prominent tax justice program. Comparable campaign focus on corporate tax avoidance and developing-country revenue mobilization.

Broad incumbents

• Tax Foundation: Larger, well-established U.S. think tank producing influential tax policy analysis. Comparable on tax-policy research output, but operates from a pro-business orientation that contrasts with TJN's progressive mandate.
• Brookings Institution (Tax Policy Center): Major U.S. think tank with substantive tax and fiscal policy work. Comparable as a producer of influential tax research for policymakers, but at materially larger scale and broader scope.
• OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration: Intergovernmental body setting international tax standards (e.g., BEPS, CRS). Comparable in subject matter and global influence, but as a government-led body rather than civil society advocate.
