(Estimated Final Signatures: 37,594 - 179 added in the past 24hrs)
We think the Government should put up the personal tax allowance to £15,000. This could help people on a low wage and help with the increase in the cost of living.

We believe that pensions and benefits are very low and therefore should NOT be taxable. We think this is pushing people even deeper into poverty.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 13,519 - 8 added in the past 24hrs)
Under the current rules a car does not become exempt from Vehicle Tax until it is at least 40 years old. There are vehicles within the 20 to 40 year age bracket that are well loved, modern classics and without a reduction in tax, we may see these vehicles disappear from our roads.

- 33 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 678 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to launch a Public Inquiry into the increasing cost of car insurance in the UK, which is well above inflation. We think this inquiry should investigate price increases by major car insurers and get to the bottom of this issue.
Reduce VAT to 5% on public EV charging
- 656 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 672 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Public EV charging carries a VAT rate of 20%. The UK Government are trying to reach net zero and I believe one way to help achieve this would be to reduce the VAT to 5% on public EV charging.
Abolish personal allowance tapering
- 299 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 446 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)
The highest marginal tax rate on income is 62% (Including the employee’s National Insurance) on taxpayers between £100,000 and £125,140. We believe it is unfair that these taxpayers have a higher marginal rate than those earning millions. The personal allowance needs to be returned to everyone.
