increase the amount of tax footballers pay & give it to armed service and NHS.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

I want to increase the amount of tax that footballers have to pay and give that money to armed and public service as well as the health services seeing how footballers wages are not inline with the average person.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The amount of tax footballers pay depends on their salaries, which are not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. If you would like income tax for very high earners to be increased to pay for the NHS, you could start a petition about that.
