Rejected petition Set tax (PAYE) relief for employed individuals paying private school fees.

As an employed individual with a child in an independent school - I pay state taxes - PAYE & NI - and at the same time paying school fees which the labour government has just removed the 20% tax break for.

It's only fair that there is a tax relief for people like me not utilising state education.

More details

We - the Brits are continually being taxed - pay, home, car, road, air, school fees! etc. It's too much - encourage businesses which help the economic growth of a nation. The government cannot solve all the problems of the UK - the labour government should rethink their policies - its having a devastating impact on the British people.

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.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We are not sure exactly what tax relief you would like to Government to provide - for example how much relief you would like to be provided. You could start a petition setting out clearly what tax relief you would like to be introduced.
