Retain the 10% wear and tear allowance for childminders, or introduce an equivalent alternative that reflects the additional household costs of providing regulated childcare from home and helps ensure childminding remains financially sustainable.

Review and increase expense rates for employees traveling outside the UK
- 11,004 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 11,118 - 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.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 10,018 - 179 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.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 2,073 - 5 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the Government to abolish the effective Tax rate of 60% on income between £100,000 and £125,140, replacing it with a Tax band of 45% on income over £100,000 and removing the tapered withdrawal of Personal Allowance.
Abolish the 'tooth tax': remove VAT on children's toothbrushes and toothpaste.
- 1,415 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,479 - 7 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.
Implement a 2% wealth tax on individuals with net assets exceeding £10 million
- 1,386 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 1,447 - 6 added in the past 24hrs)
Create an asset register and apply a 2% annual tax on individuals with net assets over £10 million. Introduce safeguards, like an exit tax to prevent assets being moved offshore. We think these measures, particularly for real estate, would help ensure the policy is fair and effective.
