Exempt frontline NHS staff from income tax during 2020 tax year

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I think that all frontline NHS staff, including temporary at the centres should be exempt from paying income tax during the forth coming tax year (2020)

I think that the staff should benefit financially for putting themselves directly and selflessly in the face of COVID-19.
