The Department for Social Justice of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales has published a document on taxation called 'Render Unto Caesar' that offers perspectives on taxation based on Catholic social thought and teaching.
The bishops' conference highlights that “as far as the Church is concerned, decisions on taxation and government spending need to be driven by human dignity and serving the common good”, while also noting that “questions related to taxation and government spending are hotly contested in the political sphere”.
