Introduce a non-taxable lunch allowance for employees to ease financial burden
I want the Government to introduce a law requiring all employers to provide a lunch allowance, which would be tax-exempt. We believe this would reduce financial pressure on employees, support workplace well-being, and ensure fair treatment across all industries.
I want the Government to require employers to provide a lunch allowance exempt from being taxed. Employees often spend £5–£10 daily on meals, which adds up to significant costs. A non-taxable allowance would ease financial pressure, improve well-being, and promote fairness across workplaces.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
