0% tax rate for emergency and essential workers during the Coronavirus crisis.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Emergency staff, workers in the NHS, social care, utilities, teachers, food retail and production plus many others will continue to work throughout the Coronavirus outbreak to keep all of us safe, connected and fed.

The government has gone to exceptional lengths to support most workers and businesses through this unprecedented event. Let us ask the government to go just a little further and put in place a temporary zero percent tax rate - to not only support essential and key workers but to also show the country’s thanks to those who will be supporting the rest of us during this time?
