Closed Raise the Tax-Free Personal Allowance to £16,000 in the next tax year

Closed on

The current standard Personal Allowance is £12,570. However, with the current economic challenges and increased living costs, we believe the £12,570 allowance is no longer sufficient for many people.

By increasing the standard Personal Allowance from £12,570 to £16,000 we can support average UK workers.

We ended December 2023 with an inflation rate of 4.0%. This economic climate has left many struggling to make ends meet, with some full time workers having to use food banks.
