Tax Break in pay for the NHS & Key workers who have worked during the lockdown

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

A tax break for all those key workers, supermarket, NHS and front-line staff who have been working durning the lockdown and keeping the UK running. Staff who have not been furloughed by their employer and have still been working during the pandemic should revive a tax break in their monthly pay.

Those who have been furloughed by their employer have been getting their full pay (with governments help) and been spending time at home while those who are key workers, teachers and NHS have been keeping the UK running during the lockdown whilst getting abuse from the general public. A tax break in monthly pay for the months since lockdown was initiated for the work they have done to keep the UK afloat. A 6 month tax break for those who have worked as key workers during this time.
