Petition Action

Online retail companies should pay an equivalent to UK high street rates.

Petition Details

The High Street is suffering, losing thousands of jobs because online suppliers offer low paid jobs in distribution centres that pay minimal local business rates.

Many pay low corporation tax and again gain an unfair advantage over British and other tax paying businesses
