Key workers shouldnt pay income tax this year

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Key workers to not pay income tax for the financial year as a way of saying thank you during cornavirus outbreak.

To recognise the efforts the key workers have put in during this current health emergency. Without them putting their health on the line to protect others and keep society going, the country would be falling apart. It's about time we appreciate the real cogs that keep society turning and keeping people safe
