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 Permanently increase Business Rates relief to 100% for all Charity Retail Shops

Every year Charity Retail Shops pay millions in Business Rates tax. This money which should be going to charity is instead being taken by the taxman.

More details

Business rates relief for charities is currently set at 80%. This means every charity retail shop currently has to pay some business rates tax. This diverts valuable money raised by charity retail shops to the taxman. This is something many donors and shoppers at charity shops do not realise is happening when they support their favourite charity.

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
