What the petition asks
Because the coronavirus emergency will cause huge damage to most of the UK it is only fair that companies and businesses that profit from the situation should contribute all of their extra profit to the exchequer.
A windfall tax would be equitable, would ensure that profiteering is not rewarded, and would contribute something to the UK's exchequer in extremely difficult times.
