Petition Action

Introduce a non-taxable lunch allowance for employees to ease financial burden

Petition Details

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.

Additional Information

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.
