Apply Equal Taxes to Alcohol and Tobacco in Parliament same as the public. — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Call on Parliament to apply fair and equal taxation to alcohol and tobacco within Parliament, ensuring MPs and staff are subject to the same rules as the public. Cigarettes and alcohol should not receive special treatment, and all revenue should support public health.

Additional details

The public is paying increasingly high taxes. - MPs make the decisions on those taxes and should lead by example. - Alcohol and tobacco bought in Parliament should face the same taxes and duties as everywhere else. - No special treatment or hidden subsidies. - Taxation should be fair, equal and transparent. - Any additional revenue should support public services and public health.
