Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly how you would like the Government to define "companies that pay their fair share of tax".
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
