We urge the Government to reduce income tax on wages by at least 5%

What the petition asks

We believe the Government should take urgent action to support workers and improve living standards by implementing this tax cut as soon as possible.
We urge the Government to reduce income tax on wages by at least 5% to help working people manage the rising cost of living. We believe a tax cut would increase take-home pay, reduce financial pressure, and boost the economy by encouraging spending.
We think millions of workers across the UK are struggling with inflation, high energy bills, and rising mortgage or rent costs, and that a reduction in income tax would directly benefit workers, increase consumer confidence, and stimulate growth.
We call for urgent and fair action to ease the tax burden on working people
