Income Tax Personal Allowance

EDM number 2791 in 2010-12, proposed by Stephen Williams on 28/02/2012.

That this House congratulates the Coalition Government on its increase in the personal allowance of income tax, which has already taken 800,000 working people out of the tax system and given 23 million people a 200 tax cut; welcomes the commitment to increasing the threshold to 10,000, which will save working people 700 a year and take millions of the lowest paid workers out of the tax system; and calls on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to go further and faster in his 2012 budget.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
