Open Petition since 31st March 2026

Raise the personal tax allowance to £18,000 - 62,319 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 73,605 - 265 added in the past 24hrs)

Since 2021 personal tax allowance has been frozen at £12,570. This freeze was due to expire this year but the Chancellor of the Exchequer has extended it to 2031.
We want to keep some more of our own money.

The Government responsed to this petition on 5th May 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government currently has no plans to increase the Personal Allowance to £18,000. Increasing the Personal Allowance to £18,000 would come at a significant fiscal cost of over £40 billion per year.

Stop taxing Longer Separation Allowance on British armed forces - 22,108 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 22,255 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the Government to stop taxing Longer Separation Allowance (LSA) which compensates British service personnel for unavoidable extended time away from their families due to deployments and training.

The Government responsed to this petition on 30th June 2026 (View Full Response)
The Longer Separation Allowance recognises the impact of time away from home. It is taxed like salary under UK tax law, and there are currently no plans to change this.

Reduce VAT on hospitality to 10%: protect jobs, communities & UK competitiveness - 15,913 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 16,110 - 8 added in the past 24hrs)

Reduce VAT on hospitality to 10% to prevent closures & protect tax revenue. When venues close, HMRC loses 100% of its VAT, business rates, PAYE & corporation tax, reducing employment & supply chains. We believe a lower VAT rate would keep viable businesses trading, securing jobs & ongoing revenue.

The Government responsed to this petition on 19th June 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is supporting UK hospitality through Great British Summer Savings and lower business rates. Cutting VAT to 10% would cost around £11 billion a year.
Open Petition since 27th February 2026

Review and increase expense rates for employees traveling outside the UK - 11,106 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 11,115 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)

HMRC sets scale rate expenses for subsistence paid to employees who travel outside the UK, such as Cabin Crew. We feel the rates are not reflective or the real costs for people whose work takes them abroad, and that the way they are put into blocks of 5/10 or 24 hour blocks is completely unfair.

The Government responsed to this petition on 27th April 2026 (View Full Response)
Overseas scale rates (OSR) allow employers to reimburse overseas travel costs without receipts. Where costs exceed rates, receipts can be used. The Government keeps OSR under review.
Open Petition since 10th April 2026

Make all World War 2 veterans exempt from Tax and Care costs - 2,371 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,476 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)

Our WW2 veterans are owed by us all. There are only 8 thousand alive. We need to look after them. No Tax on their Pensions at all. Their Care costs are free, paid by the Government.


Open Petition since 30th April 2026

Abolish quarterly Making Tax Digital submissions for self-assessment - 983 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,498 - 19 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the Government to abolish the requirement for quarterly tax submissions under Making Tax Digital, introduced this April by HMRC. We believe it is difficult enough doing annual submissions and now to be forced to submit tax calculations 4 times a year is more than many of us can bear.


Open Petition since 8th May 2026

Scrap Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax and remove £200 fine - 383 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 581 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)

The Government should scrap the new Making Tax Digital (MTD) scheme for Income Tax and revert to the previous system where Self Employed People handed in accounts once a Year. We also call on the Government to drop the £200 fines for late submissions and requirement to upload information online.


Open Petition since 25th March 2026

Private pensions to remain excluded from someone's estate for Inheritance Tax - 448 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 540 - 3 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask the Government to reverse the planned change in April 2027 to include someone's Private pension into their estate estimate for Inheritance tax. In our view this disproportionately penalise single or unmarried couples due to £325k individual tax allowance (plus £175k if house goes to children)


Open Petition since 5th March 2026

All military veterans to be exempted from tax on their military pensions - 431 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 466 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)

Studies show that some people leave the forces without access to adequate benefits, placing immense pressure on families and, in some cases, leading to homelessness or suicide.


Open Petition since 24th February 2026

Increase the Personal Allowance to £16,000 and link it to inflation - 365 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 371 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)

We call on the Government to increase the Personal Allowance from £12,570 to £16,000 and automatically uprate it each year in line with inflation (CPI), so people on low and middle incomes don’t pay more tax in real terms when living costs rise.
