Bogus self employment, umbrella companies, false CIS, false LTD, payroll companies all used to avoid Employer and Tax responsibilities and ignore industry agreements.

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 understand that you're concerned about people being wrongly classified as being self-employed, but we're not sure exactly what action you'd like to see.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
