Rejected petition Stop tax evaders appearing on BBC especially asking us to donate to charity.

We see so many celebrities and sportsmen on the BBC asking us to donate to charity, but so many of the self-promoting personalities have used schemes to "avoid" tax. Anyone who is found guilty of "avoiding" tax should be banned from the BBC.

More details

Make it a law that anyone who is guilty of tax avoidance will not appear on the BBC.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government is not responsible for determining who appears on BBC programming. This is a matter for the BBC and production companies engaged to produce content for the BBC.

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