Petition Action

Give all health care workers and care staff a discounted tax code

Petition Details

A lot of people in the care industry take on overtime to help people that they support across the health care sector to give them the best support they could have, a lot of the carers etc don't feel the benefit of putting in extra hours but feel a pinch by getting a large amount of their pay taxed

Additional Information

Putting in as little as 20 hours extra a week can result in nearly £250 tax being taken from wages, it benefits the person using the service but not the staff that provide the support to help the person in the care environment, I think a decreased tax code for people in the care industry would make the extra hours worthwhile and would also help to get more people into the care industry

This petition was rejected

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.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask the Government to raise the tax-free allowance for care staff so that they can earn more money before they pay tax.
