What the petition asks
Residential safety products & services are taxed at 20%, such items include: smoke alarms; annual gas safety checks; fire blankets; carbon monoxide detectors. Despite still being part of the EU, the Government does have the ability to axe the tax on these lifesaving products and services.
These are potentially life-saving products and they should be affordable. http://safetytax.org.uk axesafetytax
