Background

We want the Government to increase taxes on online shopping including takeaway apps. We think this would help support shops. We believe it's time the government took steps to support our high street

Additional details

We truly believe a new tax for online shopping would help high street recovery and would give immediate support for the crumbling hospitality sector. We think that for far too long online retail and takeaway giants have been killing the high street food sector. We believe action is needed as we think jobs are being lost and businesses are vanishing.
