What the petition asks
The disparity in this is ridiculous. Some over 40s earn a lot less than some in their 20s and 30s. Women will be effected more so.. many jobs that women do part time do not pay over 18K. Billionaires evade tax, yet Gov.uk want to punish the poorest in society.
Stop this from happening. Tax the rich who earn over a certain amount a year. Not by age. It’s retarded.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The income tax system is already linked to income level, not age. The Government has not announced any plans to change this.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
