Reduced tax for all key workers 2021
Rejected

What the petition asks
Tax discount in 2021 for all NHS staff and key workers that are risking contracting COVID-19.
The government has set up packages for businesses and the public. However our key workers will be going to work and risking themselves for our government and our country. I understand this is pressing times for the UK government however, we should be on top of this virus by next year and therefore be able to thank our ket workers by reducing the tax they pay.
