Petition Raise taxable pension rate to £15k paer annum

More details

HELP OUR PENSIONERS!

Raising the threshold to 15k per year before pensioners pay tax will save lives particularly in times of austerity and extreme cold.

How can we allow the very people who brought us into the world to be taxed on their pensions after earning just £9,440 per year?

This is less than £800 per month before they start paying tax.

We pay tax all our lives, we are told to save for our old age pension all our lives. When we get there were taxed for having saved to look after ourselves.

Sign this petition! - make it fair! - £15k before tax for pensioners.

Sorry Mr Osborne chase the fat cats and businesses who don't pay rather than the ones who have already!
