This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Stop the National Insurance increase to fund social care.
Fund UK social care by taxing companies like Amazon, Google and big businesses. If they paid tax like small UK companies, and the rest of the population, the UK Government would have billions more to spend on social care, the NHS, schools, housing etc.
More details
This Government does not fairly, or correctly, tax big business. It cares more for shareholders than the people it serves.
It gave PPE contracts to its friends and family - with no formal tendering (using the excuse of urgency).
This NI increase for social care is another example - taxing the people, not the entities it continues to allow to operate without fairly taxing them.

Why was this petition rejected?
There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
You may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action:
No to any National Insurance increase to ‘fund’ social care: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/596514
If you want increased funding for heath and social care to be funded in a different way we could accept a petition requesting this, but it would need to be clear what changes to other taxes you wanted the Government to make.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
