David Cameron should make his tax return public to prove no wrong doings.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

David Cameron avoided a very basic, straightforward question as to wether he and his family have benefitted from tax avoidance mechanism. As the Prime minister of our country he should lead by example. especially when he has made cracking down on tax avoidance schemes one of his priorities.
The public voted this man and his party in to power and they are there to serve the public. David Cameron needs to clarify his position, not simply dodge questions and call it private. If there was any doubt about anyone else's tax payments you can be certain HMRC would be cracking down on it.

Why it was rejected

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

This is the responsibility of the Prime Minister as an individual, not the responsibility of the UK Government and Parliament as a whole.
