Petition

End Stealth Tax raise the Personal Allowance & threshold in line with inflation.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government needs raise the Personal Allowance (currently £12,570) and the Higher Rate threshold (£50,270) in line with inflation (CPI)
It prevents "fiscal drag" from eating into your take-home pay every time you get a cost-of-living raise. A petition for this targets the "hidden" tax rises that hit workers harder than those on fixed benefits.

Why it was rejected
