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 Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about IR35 legislation, but it's not clear exactly what actions you want the Government to take.

We also can't publish petitions that contain false information, such as claims that "Govt forced small directors to take COVID loans."

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

If you want the Government to do something different to the above petition you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
