Summary
The personal allowance has been frozen while living costs have risen, meaning workers pay more tax in real terms. Increasing it to £20,000 would put more money into millions of workers’ pockets, helping with rising bills and supporting low and middle earners. The personal allowance has been frozen since 2021 while living costs have risen sharply, meaning workers are paying more tax in real terms. As wages increase slightly to keep up with inflation, more people are pulled into paying tax or higher rates. Increasing the threshold to £20,000 would put more money into millions of workers’ pockets, ease financial pressure, and support low and middle earners during a cost of living crisis.
