Married Couples' Tax Allowance Petition

Current status: please sign the petition, here. Deadline is 27th Feb.

The petition has been initiated by a private person, Michael Wonham (who can't spell), but it is being promoted by 'Full Time Mothers' and deserves support. The current tax regime constitutes an attack on the family.

The text: "It's agreed by many that one of the causes of 'problems' in our youth cmomunity is the difficulties that parents have on surviving on one income - forcing both parents to gain paid employment, leading to childcare difficulties. By reinstating the married couples of allowance, the couple can benefit from both tax allowances, even though only one is getting paid, increasing the possibility that mothers (or fathers) may be able to engage in more part-time work suitable for balancing income and childcare."
