VAT Is killing small businesses. Make VAT a tiered tax system.
A lot of Small businesses with takings under the VAT threshold wouldn’t survive or be sustainable. Making VAT a tiered system would allow small businesses to thrive and larger company’s to contribute more. A lot of small businesses are not 20% profitable as they hit the VAT threshold
The high street is something that is diminishing across the UK. It’s the heart of every community and although there are serveral issues around this. VAT is amongst one of the biggest. Small businesses offer jobs to local people, boosts local economy and gives our towns a Heart.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we not sure where you want the thresholds to be set in a tiered VAT system and we're not sure exactly how you want the Government or Parliament to help small businesses that are operating below the current VAT threshold.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
There's already a petition calling for the VAT threshold to be raised, which you might like to sign. You're more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
