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 UK Government to tax a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the impact of taxes on taxi drivers, but it's not clear what you want the UK Government or House of Commons to do about this.
There is no system in the UK for taxing tax drivers, or other road users, by distance travelled. It has been suggested that the UK Government might bring in a system of road pricing to replace lost revenues from fuel duty as there are more ULEVs, but the details of this policy have not yet been announced and there has been no indication that such a policy would only apply to taxi drivers.
If you want the Government to commit to not introducing a system of road pricing, we could accept a petition requesting this.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
