Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition End the practice of Payments on Account for self-employed

HMRC should end the practice of payments on account for self-employed people.

More details

The practice is putting some small businesses and sole traders into a position where advanced payments towards their tax bill cannot be made. This can force people to fold their business/go bankrupt. Self-employed people should be able to pay their full tax bill at the end of the tax year.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
