This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
The figures you have cited refer to income above the personal tax allowance, which means that the currently published figures would not reduce the income at which the higher tax rate is paid. These rates are subject to confirmation at the budget.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
