What the petition asks
The child benifit tax charge is fundamentally unfair and the tax system should be fair accross the board.
The charge should be based on a combinded household income, as one parent can earn 50000 and be chrage this tax but two parents can earn a combinded 99999.

This is is not a fair way to tax people.
This needs to be looked at and make the charge down to a combined earning of households over 100k to make this a fair system across the country for all people.
