Close the Estonia E-Residency website
The Estonia E-Residency is scheme where a Non-EU business can operate in the EU as a virtual Estonian citizen. However, this is a legal loophole for companies to pay tax in any Estonia where tax is low.
A case study shows that an US company its tax in Luxembourg via the E-Estonia scheme. The company owner just pays £84 to become a E-Estonian citizen. This means that he has the rights of any Estonian citizen which means to operate in any EU country and pay low taxes there. It is also a way to gain an Estonian Passport which means EU citizenship. This is amoral and against British values. We should shut it down for good

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
This isn't something that the UK Government has the power to do. You could start a new petition calling for the UK's tax rules to be changed, to close the "legal loophole" you have identified.
