Increase the minimum tax threshold to £15,000

Closed 105 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe the current minimum tax threshold of £12,570 is too low and does not give lower paid earners enough leeway to achieve a better standard of living.
This action could enable poorer households, including pensioners, to keep more of their income without slipping into the tax paying population.
