As wages increase to match living costs, more people are pushed into higher tax bands and pay more tax without real income growth. This fiscal drag acts as a hidden tax rise. We call on the Government to index income tax thresholds to inflation and review marginal rate cliffs to ensure fairness and transparency.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":9,"created_at":"2026-03-30T18:59:54.161Z","updated_at":"2026-05-01T11:45:05.714Z","rejected_at":"2026-05-01T11:44:58.065Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-31T12:22:20.000Z","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 this petition which calls for a similar action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/749467"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
