Closed Abolish income tax for under 25s

Closed on

Under 25s get lower rates of Universal Credit and housing benefit. They are not entitled to tax credit and many struggle to survive. I feel it is unfair and that to compensate for this income tax (but not National Insurance contributions) should be abolished for under 25s.

Many under 25s struggle to survive with the income they receive after tax, especially when their benefit entitlements are lower than for people 25 and over.

So that why I request the government to abolish income tax for under 25s, but not National Insurance contributions.
