Adopt EU style tax avoidance laws post Brexit.
Business, hedge funds and some MPs have been taking advantage of tax loopholes in this country and avoid paying billions in tax. This has brought the motivation for Brexit into question as the EU are about to make this illegal.
Business, hedge funds and some MPs have been taking advantage of tax loopholes in this country and avoid paying billions in tax. This has brought the motivation for Brexit into question as the EU are about to make this illegal. To show that Brexit was more than just an elaborate tax dodge funded by the conservative elite, the UK should adopt the same tax avoidance laws that are about to be put into place in the EU. By doing so it proves that tax avoidance was not the main intention of Brexit.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure exactly what you mean by EU style tax avoidance laws.
The Finance Act 2019 includes measures to ensure the UK is compliant with the EU Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive, so we're not sure exactly what you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to do.
