NHS staff and Armed Forces, not to pay Income Tax during the Coronavirus.
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
No tax to be paid by NHS and Armed Forces during the Coronavirus. This needs to happen as the rest of the population are getting a benefit but the front line staff are not.
The only authority that can implement this is the government. This would be a great reward for all their hard work and for placing themselves in the firing line.
Why it was rejected
