Friend, it’s obvious! The Government has agreed to raise the pay of millions of public sector workers, including teachers, junior doctors and NHS staff. [3]But there’s a problem. It’s being reported that the £3 billion it will cost to raise public sector pay is coming from existing budgets, which could mean HUGE spending cuts. [4]The solution? Closing the “non-dom” tax loophole that allows rich foreign nationals who were born overseas but live in the UK to avoid paying tax on all their earnings. Even though there’s less than 70,000 of them, it’s recently been calculated that closing the loophole would raise £3 billion. [5]Will you sign the petition demanding the Government close this unfair loophole, and use the money to give millions of public sector workers the pay raise they deserve, without having to cut vital public services? You can add your name below. YES, I’LL SIGNI DISAGREE BECAUSE … Here’s what the petition says:
