- 8,217 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 43,002 - 264 added in the past 24hrs)
We want the government to introduce a new tax code for state pensioners, set at double the basic threshold. If this was implemented, pensioners would receive a higher tax-exempt limit, but wealthier pensioners would still pay tax.

Publish a strategy for blockchain & stablecoins. We want this to:
1. Drive a pro-innovation stablecoin & tokenisation regulatory regime e.g. support interest bearing stablecoins & preserve role as wholesale settlement asset

Introduce a Pension Tax Lock to help protect retirement savings and incentives
- 17,792 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 39,235 - 131 added in the past 24hrs)
The Chancellor should introduce a Pension Tax Lock: a commitment not to reduce the amount people can withdraw from their pension tax-free or the amount of tax relief given on pension contributions. We believe this would help ensure retirement savings are protected and people can save with confidence

The Government are introducing inheritance tax to pension funds & death benefits from April 2027. When you die this may now result in a disproportionate and unfair double taxation on beneficiaries (income tax and inheritance tax) which we think results in a disincentive to funding a pension.

Members of the emergency services may regularly work overtime and sometimes do not have the choice but to work it because it may be an aid requirement or jobs may run over. We think that any overtime worked should not be taxed or subject to national insurance
