Rejected

What the petition asks
All Key workers or anyone that has still been working through the virus is not to have tax adjusted to help pay back what the government has spent to retain worker's. Key workers should not be penalised for all the good they have been doing & putting there family’s at risk.
If & when the government need to start clawing back the billions that has been laid out to retain the work forces to stop people being made redundant then this needs to be claimed back by the people that have benefited from the furlough scheme. The people that have worked throughout this pandemic should not be financially put out thru tax adjustments.
