Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Rejected petition Reverse the tax hikes on the self employed and small limited companies.

The budget has attacked non globalist corporate businesses once again.

More details

On 8th March the government decided to further attack small limited companies and also self employed businesses with further tax hikes! It is obvious that Mr Hammond has failed to recognise the risk that these entities take and the Conservatives have devalued and abused them for far too long! The result will be bad for the long term economy! We must act against this terrible move!
