Stop taxing key workers.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The key workers should not be getting taxed at a time like this as they are helping run the country.

Key workers are having to put their lives at risk by keeping the country going during this worldwide pandemic. Whilst others are able to sit at home socially distancing themselves, the nation is having to rely on key workers to keep society running; all for the health and safety of other people. Surely, it is unfair that they are being taxed for practically putting their own lives and health at risk during a crisis like the COVID-19.
