Rejected

What the petition asks
Over time will be done by NHS STAFF or arm forces to fight this corona virus but tax man will take the tax and we will not get paid for our hard work and dedication to support the country during this hard time
Government should support NHS staff and arm forces so they can work more hours and they will get rewarded in the shape of taking less tax during COVID-19 time duration.
You can support our NHS staff to work more hours and take less tax during this period only to reward the staff.
I suggest the government to take LESS TAX during this time purely to incur age them to work more hours and support the community in this hard time.
