Two thirds of Tory voters say the richest should pay more tax, a poll reveals.
Some 64% backed rises for wealthy individuals and firms, according to the Tax Justice Network survey.
Overall, 74% of the 3,010 people quizzed said the well-off should pay more.
And 66% said those who profit from wealth should face the same tax rates as workers – indicating backing for a shake-up of capital gains tax rules.
Just 24% did not want to pay more tax personally.
The poll also revealed support for a crackdown on tax dodgers, with 87% saying the Government should close loopholes.
Tax Justice UK boss Robert Palmer said: “People have had enough of clever accounting that allows companies and wealthy individuals to pay less than they should.”
The study was carried out before the lockdown.
Mr Palmer added: “If we are to be resilient to shocks that means the strongest [paying] higher taxes.
“The crisis has exposed how threadbare public services have become.”
