The Tax Advantage: Elevating Corporate Responsibility for Sustainable Growth

What if paying your fair share of tax wasn’t a cost, but a source of competitive advantage?

In The Tax Advantage, Professor Chris Harrop OBE challenges one of business’s oldest assumptions: that tax is something to minimise rather than celebrate. Drawing on decades of experience in sustainable business leadership and corporate governance, he explores how responsible tax behaviour has become the new frontier of ESG, a test of integrity that defines whether a company truly contributes to society or merely extracts from it.

Inside you’ll discover:

How tax transparency builds trust — and why it’s now central to a company’s social licence to operate.

The Tax Funded Impact (TFI) metric — a new way to measure and communicate the social and economic value created by every pound of tax paid.

How AI is transforming accountability — exposing tax-washing and rewarding data-driven transparency.

The role of accreditation — how the Fair Tax Mark and similar standards are reshaping market expectations.

The future of responsible business — where ethical taxation drives investment, resilience, and long-term growth.

This book is a call to action for business leaders, boards, investors, and policymakers who understand that trust is the new competitive currency, and that fair taxation is the foundation of a sustainable economy.
