The Government wants self-employed Brits to file a tax return online, every three months. But they are not taking the news quietlyThousands of self-employed Brits are urging the Government to scrap plans to make them fill in tax returns four times a year.
More than 43,000 people have signed a petition demanding a rethink, with strong support in Wales, Norfolk, the Midlands and Yorkshire.
Paul Johnson, who created the petition, wrote: “Each self-employed individual and small business will have the burden of additional red tape, accountancy fees and potential for fines.
“As a small business owner myself I already spend quite some time to get things in order once a year. There will be a greater chance of errors as well.
“At the moment we pay £1,200 a year in accountancy fees. This figure will greatly increase.”
And he hit out at the Tories, adding: “The Conservatives are not working for small businesses in bringing such legislation, but adding a burden.”
