What the petition asks
It's hard enough for low income people to pay for food and bills and everything and with this current low tax free allowance of £12,570 they can't support themselves or their families. This will help low income families get better life and get by easily.
We want to make the tax system fair and simple with this low tax free allowance families with kids can't support them specially when they have to but their kids school supplies and clothes. So raising tax free allowance to £18,570 is going to help millions of low income families to live comfortably and not worry about money and they can pay bills and rent. This will also take millions of housing benefit and other benefits as they won't be needing it after the tax free allowance is raised.
