What the petition asks
it is rumoured that Brexit was backed up by some big fortunes to avoid having to comply with the new EU tax avoidance laws. Embracing these laws will benefit the whole country and will ensure a fairer system that does not favour the privileged classes. And would put these rumours to rest, right?
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.
