U.K. Government to replicate the E.U. laws on Anti Tax Avoidance Directive.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

That the U.K. Government replicate the E.U. anti tax avoidance in order to prevent the U.K. becoming a tax haven and impose stricter control on U.K. residents with assets abroad, such as tax havens.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because the EU Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive came into force in UK law and across the EU on 1st January. We're therefore not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
