What the petition asks
A person earning up to £46,350 pays basic rate tax (20%). After that the tax increases to 40% for anyone earning between £46,351 and £150,000. I feel it is unfair that a person earning £43,351 per annum should be on the same rate of tax as someone earning more than three times the salary.
