All key workers tax free on their wages for helping keeping the country running

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

All key workers (including NHS, transport, teachers shop workers and police) throughout the coronavirus lockdown should be given tax free months for putting themselves at risk as well as their households and for also working so many hours and as an incentive to say thank you.

All the key workers have helped in their own way to keep the country running to keep people alive and to ensure the whole country doesn't come to a standstill and they should be appreciated and shown our gratitude by giving tax free months like you have done with businesses for at least the period of the lockdown.
