Give 100% tax relief to key workers.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

A large % of the work force are now at home self isolating and getting a 80% wage. Front line workers and key workers are still working, risking their health to keep the UK running and are getting taxed to do it. All key workers should have 100% tax relief until all businesses can go back to work.

Financially it makes very little difference for any key workers to self isolate for two weeks and receive an 80% wage off the government. But they are still working hard and risking their own lives, and I think they deserve to be shown that their efforts are appreciated.
