Increase Corporation Tax and tackle tax avoidance to fund economic recovery

What the petition asks
The government should increase Corporation Tax and take action to tackle tax avoidance, to secure tax receipts due and close loopholes allowing corporations to avoid tax, to help fund the recovery from the economic downturn.
The Government has provided substantial financial support during the outbreak, but this will clearly need to be funded. Many working households in the UK will have suffered financial hardship both before and during the pandemic and should not bear the burden of the economic recovery.
