LibDem petition launched
In April we’ll hit our target: a £700 income tax cut for millions of people. But we want to go further. Before the end of the parliament, we want to cut income tax bills by another £100.
Will you help us deliver this?
Think of it as a workers’ bonus. The British people have lived with austerity for three years. Your sacrifices are making it possible for us to fix the economy. This is your recovery and you deserve to feel the benefits – without delay.
The Liberal Democrats want to cut your taxes further because you’ve earned it.
When we came into government, our priority was to increase the personal allowance – the point at which you start paying tax on your earnings – to £10,000. We’ve raised it every year and we’ll hit the £10,000 mark in a few months. But, rather than stop there, I’ll be pushing for another fully funded rise, taking it up to £10,500.
That’s an extra £100 back in your pocket and it brings us a step closer to the Liberal Democrats’ goal for the next parliament: increasing the personal allowance to the minimum wage.
