Income tax/national insurance should be reduced for under 25s and graduates
National minimum wage affects people doing the exact same job. Under 25s receive a considerably less amount simply because of their age difference, however we pay the same in tax, food, bills, rent, so why are we paid different, but taxed the same?
Graduate jobs are harder to get in 2018 more than ever, the average graduate gets a job 6 months after they graduate. After studying for full time for 3 years and either earning nothing or very little, starting a job and having at least 40-60 percent of it taken away makes it extremely difficult to save any money, especially when living in London where rent prices and mortgage costs are higher than most peoples salaries. I propose that graduates pay a reduced amount of income tax.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure whether you'd like everyone with a degree to pay lower income tax, no matter what their income or how long ago they graduated, or only recent graduates.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
