Tax rebate for pensioners paying for their care

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Introduce tax rebate for pensioners paying for their care in a care home or at home

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what you mean by "tax rebate". A tax rebate normally refers to a payment from HMRC because you have overpaid tax.

You could start a new petition calling for payments for care to be tax deductible (not count towards income tax) if that's what you would like to see happen.
