Rejected petition Remove Jersey's status as a tax avoidance haven.

Remove the Government of Jersey's independent fiscal jurisdiction, and standardise taxes between the United Kingdom and Jersey.

More details

Wealth transfers and capital gains are currently untaxed within the jurisdiction of Jersey. Over $148 billion is deposited in bank accounts in Jersey, untaxed. This enables British businesses and individuals to avoid paying UK taxes on an industrial scale, depriving the UK Government of valuable funding for important services such as our NHS.
