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.
Tax all welfare and benefits at identical rates as earned income
Ensure all welfare and benefits payments, allowances and subsidies are subject to identical personal tax, national insurance rates and starting thresholds as earned and pension income
Give people the option to opt out of income tax
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.
Raise the standard tax-free Personal Allowance to £45,000
The Personal Allowance is the amount of income a person can get before they pay income tax. It stands at £12,570 in 2025. We would like the standard Personal Allowance raised to what we think is a more realistic figure of £45,00.
Create a rising tax rate system and set an effective maximum income level
We would like the current tax band system in this country to be abolished, in favour of a formulaic system, where tax is calculated from a starting income of £45,000, rising to a maximum income figure of around £250,000.
