Raise the Personal Allowance for pensioners from £12,570 to at least £25,000

Closed 1,506 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to raise the Personal Allowance for pensioners (the income you do not have to pay tax on) from the current rate of £12,570 to at least £25,000.
We think this would support our older citizens, many of whom have already contributed by paying tax during their working life.
