What the petition asks
The UK Government should let taxpayers yearly allocate a portion of their income tax to priority sectors via the secure HMRC App or website. Protect core obligations, pilot the scheme, ensure transparency, and legislate participatory tax allocation to boost trust and democratic engagement.
We think that many taxpayers feel disconnected from how their money is used and that allowing citizens to allocate a portion of their tax would increase transparency, accountability, and engagement in democracy. We believe it would ensure spending better reflects public priorities, strengthen trust in institutions, and encourage more informed civic participation while still protecting essential national obligations and fiscal stability.
