Lets Cut Tax!

Full Text of Petition

We the unersigned support Lembit Öpik MP and the Liberal Democrats, in their calls for the basic rate of income tax to be cut from 20p in the pound to 16p in the pound - the lowest rate in the UK since 1916.

The move to cut the basic rate by four pence in the pound will reduce the basic rate of income tax to 16p, benefiting millions of people on low and middle incomes.

The plans are a development of those approved by the party conference last year and form part of the party's proposals to lift the tax burden on low and middle income earners whilst making the rich and people with environmentally damaging lifestyles pay a fairer share.
