Stop VAT being added to Private school fees
- 22 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 174 - None added in the past 24hrs)
Stop the charging of VAT on private schools fees. Government funds free schools, so therefore I think it should also be supporting private schools that hard working parents scrimp to pay for! I think supporting private schools increases places and facilities offered to state schools!

Requesting the Government to create a short-term grace period for UK tax residents to report worldwide income and assets without penalties.

I urge the Government to exempt people from paying National Insurance after reaching the 35 years of NI contributions required to receive the basic state pension. I believe we should be able to stop paying after we have reached 35 years of NI contributions.
Allow people to transfer all their personal allowance to their spouse

We urge the Government to reform the marriage allowance to allow married couples and civil partners to transfer their entire personal tax-free allowance to their partners. We feel the current 10% limit doesn’t reflect real family life and full sharing could recognise marriage as a true partnership.

Introduce a new secondary property tax

Charge property owners a tax, 5-10% of the property value, paid yearly to the local council (10-20% for non UK owners). This tax would not apply if this is the owner's primary residence or if the property is rented out at the social rent (as per the government's formula for social rent).

Scrap the Sugar tax on soft drinks

(Estimated Final Signatures: 134 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
The Sugar Tax was brought in by the last Conservative government in 2018 partly to try and reduce childhood obesity. We believe it hasn't worked at all and has instead just provided the government more money for no reason.
Raise the VAT threshold to £250,000 for small businesses
- 25 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 134 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)
Raise the VAT threshold from £90,000 to £250,000 to support small businesses. We believe this could reduce red tape, encourage growth, and remove what we feel is an unfair penalty on growing businesses. We believe the current system discourages expansion and punishes progress.
Raise the 40% tax threshold from £50,271 to £53,800
- 38 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 122 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
I believe the current 40% tax threshold of £50,271 is outdated and doesn't reflect current earnings or inflation. I think that many middle-income earners—such as teachers, nurses, and skilled professionals—are now being pushed into the higher tax bracket.
