Increase the 40% tax bracket threshold in line with inflation

Closed 66 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to increase the 40% tax bracket in line with inflation. They have frozen this, which we believe is causing people to work longer and harder to earn a decent living. Working people should not be penalised for wanting to have a good quality of life for their families.
We believe tax in this country is already too high, and the 40% tax threshold should go up in line with inflation.
