Rejected petition Stop cutting Working Tax Credits & Child Tax Credits

Cuts to Working Tax Credits and Child Tax Credits will leave thousands of families worrying how they will afford basic essentials.

Please sign this petition to stand against the Tax Credit cuts.

More details

George Osborne has planned £12 billion of welfare cuts, with a large % being cut from Tax Credits. Equating to around £500 - £1,000 per year, per claim.

Tax Credit cuts will leave many families below the poverty line. Many parents will be left to choose between paying the rent and feeding their family. No parent or family should have to make these decisions.
