Do not count employer funded private health insurance as a taxable benefit.

Closed 31 signatures

What the petition asks

Right now, employer funded private health insurance premiums are taxed at employee marginal tax rates as a benefit in kind. This tax to the employee should be eliminated. Many people reject the private health insurance because of this large cost burden.
This will enable more people to use the private health system and reduce the strain on public services.
