Closed petition: Give people the option to opt out of income tax

Closed on 26 February 2026

We want the option to opt out of paying income tax to the government since we think they do not spend our hard earned money responsibly. People work and save (what little we have) but we feel what is paid in tax is used needlessly with no public input. We think this has to stop.

We do not accept that the Government is responsible enough and therefore require the ability to opt out of paying income tax. We think the government fail looking after the British public but instead support those who have come here illegally and do not deserve public funds. By opting out of paying income tax, we think we would hold the Government accountable for their continued failures and choose how we spend our own money.
