The eu takes one fifth of vat we pay - on leaving vat should be cut accordingly
As the eu takes one fifth of vat we pay - on leaving the eu the government should cut the vat we pay on goods etc down to well below 15%. This can be done with the help of money no longer being paid to the eu on leaving.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK contributes 0.3% of its VAT receipts to the EU Budget rather than a fifth. We aren't sure what action you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

You could start a new petition calling for VAT to be cut below 15%, the minimum allowed under EU law, after leaving the EU if that is something you would like to see happen.
