Freeze tax and NI for community pharmacy staff for 12 month

What the petition asks
We want the government to freeze tax and NI for community pharmacist and pharmacy staff for the next 12 month
Most community pharmacists and pharmacy staff work tirelessly long days and 6-7 days to help combat the COVID crisis. Often they have to do overtime to cover for self isolated colleagues and consequently pay even more tax. It’s only fair to freeze tax for next 12 month for them, as most work for corporates and multiples and getting pay rise is not realistic.
