Rejected petition: Postpone New Tax Increases Until Next Election & 100% Tax on MP Bonuses
Rejected on
We demand the Government postpone all new tax increases until after the next General Election. British families are at breaking point from high living costs, stagnant wages and repeated tax rises. Major tax changes require a fresh democratic mandate.
We call for all MP bonuses to be taxed at 100%.
The Government must regulate corporatocracy and profiteering on fuel/energy prices instead of endlessly taxing the public. Taxing people without real value is theft and must stop. This turns Britain into a communist-style state violating our constitution. Tyranny must end. We demand new tax increases are postponed until after the next General Election, and all MP bonuses taxed at 100%. Bonuses return only after fundamental culture change in Government
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand that you're concerned about tax rises, but we're not exactly sure what rises you want to see postponed. We're also not sure what you mean by MPs bonuses. MPs don't receive bonuses. They receive salaries and expenses. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government. You can find out more about IPSA here: http://www.theipsa.org.uk
We could accept a petition calling for the Government to not increase any taxes, or certain types of taxes providing it was clear which taxes you mean.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
