Closed Apply VAT to all newspaper sales to help fund the NHS

Closed on

Many national newspapers complain that multi national companies avoid paying tax whilst newspapers themselves remain exempt from tax. The exemption stems from the days when they were the prime source of news, this is no longer true.

Apply Value Added Tax to all newspaper sales as soon as possible. This money raised could help fund the NHS in this time of crisis.
