Rejected petition Introduce a 20% tax on any body that proposes new taxes on the public.

Again some group or other thinks for our own good we should get another tax on our lives.
Not a month goes by without some think tank, university research body, pressure group etc suggesting taxing our behaviour.
A 20% tax on gross income of these bodies would make them think more creatively.

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.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

Taxation isn't based on individuals' or organisations' views, so we're not exactly sure what you'd like to happen.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

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