I am sorry but I cannot sign. My opinion is that the government has to raise x amount of money and they do it by taxing income and then by taxing other things like petrol. Take away one source of income and it has to be raised elsewhere for example tax on income. Making certain things exempt in my opinion just creates incredibly complicated rules that need costly enforcing. Take red diesel as an example, its use has to be policed and enforced at a certain cost, would it not be better to just have white diesel for all therefore increasing the total revenue from diesel taxation. Food cost would increase but taxation on income could also be reduced and there would be no need to enforce the rules on usage and no revenue loss from misuse. Reducing tax on things that we pay for and having to make up the shortfall elsewhere only benefits those people who do not pay tax on their income i.e. those on benefits. Sorry to rant but I feel quite strongly about this and get a bit cross when I see fuel protesters. If I was in power I would level the playing field and reduce the amount of rules around exemptions, stamp out misuse and all these grants for this and that. L believe that a product or business should be able to stand on its own two feet and if it needs a grant or exemption then it is simply not viable as a product or business

Done. As an Aspen user it needs sorting. Whether or not the government listen is a different story, I wrot to David Cameron a couple of months ago and have not had a reply, this was regarding VAT.
