Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The UK Government and Parliament does not have the power to prosecute anyone. The Government could work with other countries to help reduce tax avoidance and the UK Parliament could pass new legislation which closed tax loopholes in the UK. You could start a petition calling for that.
