Taxpayers' Alliance

The Taxpayers' Alliance (TPA) is a right-wing single-issue think tank and lobbying group advocating "lower taxes and reformed public services". On 19 September 2007, the Hayek Society, a LSE right-wing group, circulated a job description to its members for a internships at TPA.

In a March 2009 presentation TPA Chief Executive Matthew Elliott and Tim Montgomerie described IEA as part of the infrastructure of the conservative movement in Britain.
