Stop the new Self Employed Tax Hike which is DISCRIMINATION

Petition Details

The new tax hike for self employed is not helping low earners as the PM promised. It also will cause more hardship for those working hard to stay employed. Discriminating between people earning the same wage for being Self Employed or an employee. UNACCEPTABLE

Additional Information

cut the benefits claimed by high earners and public office . Remove the sleepers from Westminster and gain from there. Restructuring who's paid in Government and save money there is more appropriate.
