Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Raise tax threshold for the over 65s

To help UK Pensioners we want the UK government to raise the tax threshold/personal allowance to a reasonable £25,000 This would help bring thousands of pensioners out of poverty.

More details

A pensioner in the UK who has contributed to either a workplace pension or a personal pension will pay tax on it, if combined with the state pension it is over the currant tax threshold of £9,500. This is a ludicrous situation in these hard times, and compared to other leading nations is derisory.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
