Open Petition since 31st March 2026

Raise the personal tax allowance to £18,000 - 72,640 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 73,685 - 124 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.
Open Petition since 1st April 2026

Public Vote Required on Overseas Aid Spending - 22,424 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 22,499 - 8 added in the past 24hrs)

We call on the Government to consult the British public and hold a vote before sending taxpayer money overseas. The people should decide whether funds are prioritised for foreign aid or invested in our own National Health Service, Armed Forces, and essential services at home.

The Government responsed to this petition on 16th September 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government does not support a public vote on overseas aid. Spending decisions, including on overseas aid, are made by Government and scrutinised by Parliament on behalf of the public.

Stop taxing Longer Separation Allowance on British armed forces - 22,202 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 22,237 - 2 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.
Open Petition since 10th April 2026

Make all World War 2 veterans exempt from Tax and Care costs - 2,451 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,469 - 1 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 25th March 2026

Private pensions to remain excluded from someone's estate for Inheritance Tax - 1,924 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,954 - 21 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 30th April 2026

Abolish quarterly Making Tax Digital submissions for self-assessment - 1,027 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,065 - 1 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.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 464 - 196 added in the past 24hrs)

(Estimated Final Signatures: 463 - 2 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 31st March 2026

Exempt all Pensioners from Council Tax. - 283 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 290 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)

We call on Parliament to pass a law which exempts all pensioners from paying Council Tax. Current provisions only ensure that pensioners on the lowest incomes receive full relief, yet many others, particularly those on modest but above-threshold incomes, still pay this tax.


Open Petition since 6th May 2026

End the tax threshold freeze to stop potentially pushing families into poverty - 224 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 283 - 21 added in the past 24hrs)

1. Legislate that, from April 2031, all income tax thresholds will rise automatically each year in line with CPI inflation or average wages (whichever is higher).

2. Apply a one-off sharp upward correction in 2031 to restore the real value lost over the decade — not a token increase.
