End the current freeze on tax bands and ensure the system keeps pace with the real cost of living.","additional_details":"Since 2010, almost everyone in the UK has become poorer in real terms as prices have risen faster than wages and frozen tax thresholds have dragged millions into higher bands. People work harder yet take home less, leaving families struggling and the economy weakening. This hidden tax rise reduces spending, hurts businesses and increases reliance on benefits. Indexing thresholds to inflation would restore fairness, improve living standards and support real, sustainable growth.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":8,"created_at":"2025-11-27T05:01:46.712Z","updated_at":"2026-01-13T17:14:01.709Z","rejected_at":"2026-01-13T17:14:00.536Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-11-27T13:30:10.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign the following petition, which calls for similar action:\r\n\r\nEnd the freeze on income tax thresholds & adjust annually, indexed to inflation\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/749467"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
