Rejected petition increase the amount of tax footballers pay & give it to armed service and NHS.

I want to increase the amount of tax that footballers have to pay and give that money to armed and public service as well as the health services seeing how footballers wages are not inline with the average person.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The amount of tax footballers pay depends on their salaries, which are not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. If you would like income tax for very high earners to be increased to pay for the NHS, you could start a petition about that.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
