Reinstate the personal allowance between incomes of £100,000 and £125,140

What the petition asks
For every £2 earned above £100,000, the personal allowance is reduced by £1 until it is completely removed at £125,140.
This leads to an unfair marginal tax rate of 62% between £100,000 and £125,140.
This is unfair, and it has to be scrapped now.

This is unfair, and it has to be scrapped now.
People are discouraged from taking on extra hours right around the £100,000 salary mark because they won't get to keep 62% of their work.
The government should scrap this stealth tax to encourage people to work more hours and be more productive. No one deserves a marginal tax rate of 62p per £1.
