Close loopholes for multinationals before adding Licence Fees for BBC iPlayer

Petition Details

The culture secretary has today announced that he would bring forward legislation "as soon as possible" so that those watching catch-up TV do not get "a free ride".

Additional Information

This shows the skewed priorities of this government as the amount of money lost to Multi-national companies using unethical tax practices far exceeds the money to be made from the few people watching iPlayer without a TV licence, and unfairly penalises those who have no wish to watch TV but need a computer for other purposes.
