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.

Give UK taxpayers a direct say in how a proportion of their taxes are spent.
We want the Government to introduce a system that allows UK taxpayers to vote on how a set proportion of public spending is allocated each year. This would increase transparency, improve trust in public spending, and ensure that taxpayers feel their contributions are funding services they want.
Review the tax affairs of all sitting MPs for public peace of mind
Government or Parliament should initiate a review of the finances of all sitting MPs for all years they have sat in office. The review should make sure they were conducting themselves according to the law regarding taxation, including with regards to their assets.
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.
Make MPs and Ministers publish yearly verified reports of assets and debts
Create a law requiring all MPs, Ministers and senior civil servants to file an annual declaration of total assets and debts (value ranges), the country of all bank or investment accounts, and any rise in overall capital. Verified independently and published yearly to improve transparency.
Increase the personal tax-free allowance to £26000
With the cost of living still high, we believe there’s strong cross-party and public pressure for tax relief.
