Introduce new tax code for state pensioners with double the personal allowance
- 115,245 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 121,794 - 409 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.

- 6,486 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 35,414 - 400 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.
Introduce a Pension Tax Lock to help protect retirement savings and incentives

(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,206 - 3 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

Abolish the 'tooth tax': remove VAT on children's toothbrushes and toothpaste.
- 983 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,537 - 219 added in the past 24hrs)
Abolish the 20% VAT on children's oral care products like toothbrushes and toothpaste. Make these essential items zero-rated for VAT (like children's clothing). With an estimated 4.3 million children in poverty, this could ease pressure on families and reduce NHS costs from preventable tooth decay.
