Open Petition since 1st October 2025

Introduce a Pension Tax Lock to help protect retirement savings and incentives - 20,620 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 30,952 - 95 added in the past 24hrs)

The Chancellor should introduce a Pension Tax Lock: a commitment not to reduce the amount people can withdraw from their pension tax-free or the amount of tax relief given on pension contributions. We believe this would help ensure retirement savings are protected and people can save with confidence

The Government responsed to this petition on 22nd October 2025 (View Full Response)
The Government is committed to ensuring pensioners have security in retirement and has launched a Pensions Commission to look at what is required to ensure the system is strong, fair and sustainable.

Stop the double tax (IHT & Income Tax) of pension funds & death benefits - 23,706 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 25,014 - 14 added in the past 24hrs)

The Government are introducing inheritance tax to pension funds & death benefits from April 2027. When you die this may now result in a disproportionate and unfair double taxation on beneficiaries (income tax and inheritance tax) which we think results in a disincentive to funding a pension.

The Government responsed to this petition on 18th September 2025 (View Full Response)
More than 90 per cent of estates will still pay no inheritance tax each year. The Government is continuing to incentivise pensions for their intended purpose of funding retirement.

Stop HMRC implementing making tax digital and enforcing quarterly submissions - 18,394 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 20,290 - 33 added in the past 24hrs)

HMRC is pushing ahead with Making Tax Digital: a scheme that requires all business to maintain digital accounts. Currently many small businesses use paper accounting records or spreadsheets. Small businesses may lack the skills, time and funding to maintain digital accounts.

The Government responsed to this petition on 15th October 2025 (View Full Response)
Making Tax Digital will help businesses stay on top of their affairs, boost productivity and ensure more of the right tax is paid. The Government will support users and has no plans to delay.

Raise the income tax personal allowance from £12,570 to £20,000 - 10,471 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 18,694 - 389 added in the past 24hrs)

This would help with increasing rent, mortgages, Council tax, and Gas and Electric bills. Some families can’t afford to go back to work after children due to childcare costs wiping their whole income!

Cut VAT for local hospitality – for Pubs, Cafes & Restaurants - 5,833 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 14,387 - 123 added in the past 24hrs)

Across the UK, our cafes, pubs and restaurants are more than just businesses. They are the beating heart of our communities, the places where we celebrate milestones, share a quiet pint or coffee with a friend and create lifelong memories. And they're struggling to stay afloat.

Introduce new tax code for state pensioners with double the personal allowance - 8,800 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 9,657 - 9 added in the past 24hrs)

We want the government to introduce a new tax code for state pensioners, set at double the basic threshold. If this was implemented, pensioners would receive a higher tax-exempt limit, but wealthier pensioners would still pay tax.

Introduce a 12-month amnesty on APR and BPR policy proposals - 7,323 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 7,323 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)

Introduce a 12-month amnesty, as we think it would allow for the transfer of land & chattels of agricultural businesses to a named person before changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) and Business Property Relief (BPR) are made.

No tax or national insurance on overtime for emergency service workers - 6,710 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 6,881 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)

Members of the emergency services may regularly work overtime and sometimes do not have the choice but to work it because it may be an aid requirement or jobs may run over. We think that any overtime worked should not be taxed or subject to national insurance
