Introduce UK laws aligned with the EU Tax Avoidance Directive

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Leaders are keen to reconcile the national divisions created by Brexit. We ask the UK Government to introduce UK laws aligned with the EU Tax Avoidance Directive as a demonstration of the effectiveness of British sovereignty.

This will be a demonstration of the effectiveness of British sovereignty supported by leave-supporters, and a reassurance to remain-supporters who are concerned the UK will become a tax haven. It will be a step towards reconciling the country as it shows how British independence of the EU can be used for the good of the general population.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The Government has already implemented the EU Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/controlled-foreign-companies-and-eu-anti-tax-avoidance-directive/controlled-foreign-companies-and-eu-anti-tax-avoidance-directive

If you want the Government to maintain alignment to EU tax avoidance rules in the future, we could accept a petition requesting that.
