This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition No government bailouts or relief for companies who operate in tax havens.
Companies that do not pay taxes whilst operating in the UK should not be eligible for bailouts and hell under the current government schemes. If these companies cannot help the country by paying into it in the first place then why should the recieve help at cost to the taxpayer.
More details
Companies that operate and trade in the UK should pay tax into the system, any money (if) given to these companies during this pandemic I believe would basically be theft out of the the pocket of every man, woman and business that has paid their way. Small businesses are going to be struggling throughout this and we need to ensure that money goes to businesses that don't have money stashed offshore.
