All people who are paid from government finances must be paid via PAYE

What the petition asks
In order to prevent the avoidance of tax through tax instruments all people who are employed by government and paid from public finances must be paid via PAYE
As an ex armed forces pensioner and a person who has been forced to pay tax via PAYE all of my life I strongly believe that all people paid from taxpayers money should be accountable for the amount of tax they pay and using PAYE is the best way to achieve this.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not exactly sure what types of jobs you want this to apply to, as most public servants are paid using PAYE.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
