This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The Government and Parliament don't currently have the power to do this. If you would like Parliament to change the law, to require all serving MPs, parliamentary candidates and members of the House of Lords to publish their tax returns, you could start a new petition asking for that.

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