Strengthen rules on collecting taxes on all overseas sales to UK under £135
We think that some companies do not comply with VAT rules on UK sales. Items under £135 are also customs duty-exempt under the De Minimis Rule. These taxes must be collected to prevent an unbalanced business environment for UK businesses.

Keep the £135 customs duty relief on overseas imports
In the Chancellor’s budget, plans were announced to remove the £135 exemption by 2029, but many UK retailers are actively demanding this to be implemented sooner. The burden of this change could most affect UK citizens. Keep the £135 exemption and not put duties on goods under £135.
Require HMRC to issue a mandatory questionnaire on how taxes should be spent
We believe UK taxpayers are dissatisfied with how public money is spent and the state the country is in. Require HMRC to issue a mandatory questionnaire, with penalties for non-completion, to those born in the UK or who have paid UK tax for 10+ years, asking how they want their taxes spent.
Review overtime taxation to make it fairer for UK workers
Many work overtime out of financial need, to make ends meet and do not do it always by choice, as it can reduce family time. Fairer overtime taxation could support workers, encourage extra hours in essential sectors, and help overstretched teams.
Increase the £30,000 tax-free limit on settlement agreements
The £30,000 tax-free limit on settlement and redundancy payments has not increased since 1988. We think it should be raised to reflect inflation and indexed each year, to ensure fair treatment for workers facing job loss or redundancy.
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.
