What the petition asks
This will be Avery quick way to get finance to SME's directly affected by Covid-19.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand that you want HMRC to write off VAT payments for businesses, but it is not clear whether you want this to apply to all VAT payments, or just payments due during the coronavirus outbreak.
We have published a petition calling on the Government to zero VAT during the Coronavirus Crisis, which you might like to sign: Zero VAT during the Coronavirus Crisis.
