Give people the option to opt out of income tax

National
·84 reactions·100% agree

We want the option to opt out of paying income tax to the government since we think they do not spend our hard earned money responsibly. People work and save (what little we have) but we feel what is paid in tax is used needlessly with no public input. We think this has to stop.

End the freeze on income tax thresholds & adjust annually, indexed to inflation

The fiscal drag hits lower- and middle-income earners the hardest. We call on the Government to unfreeze income tax thresholds and index them to inflation. We believe this will make the tax system fair, let workers keep a fairer share of their earnings, boost the economy, and help families.

Allow Workers to Pay Essential Living Costs Before Income Tax Is Deducted

We ask the Government to change the tax system so essential bills are paid before income tax is taken. People should cover unavoidable costs like mortgage or rent, council tax, gas, electricity and water first. This would reduce pressure on working households
