Posting this as I'd imagine a huge number of us would be negatively affected by this tax if it comes in.
https://www.actionforme.org.uk/news/sign-our-letter-calling-to-halt-the-disability-tax/Action for M.E. Chief Executive Sonya Chowdhury has written an open letter to the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, opposing plans for a new tax for online shopping.
A new tax like this will disproportionately affect those with a disability, including people with M.E. We believe that this amounts to a tax on disability. We are calling on the Government to abandon plans for a blanket tax and meet with us to discuss who they can ensure disabled people are treated equally.
