Closed Removal of tax benefits for owners of woodlands.

Closed on

This petition requests that inheritance tax exemption for working forests and the income tax exemption on profits from the sale of timber from working forests should be removed. There is no longer any need for these tax exemptions.
Once this is done the nation will know that the Government is not selling off the nation's forests to provide its rich supporters with a way of avoiding tax.
