Reform UK has pledged to raise the salary threshold that workers need to earn before they start paying tax if it were to win power.
At the party’s conference in Birmingham this weekend, Reform’s economic spokesperson and former Conservative MP Robert Jenrick announced the tax-free personal allowance would rise from £12,570 to £15,000 in their first 100 days in government.
The allowance is the amount a worker can earn before they need to start paying income tax.

The current tax-free personal allowance was fixed at £12,570 five years ago and has been frozen by Labour until 2031. Reform claimed this figure has not risen with inflation.
