What the petition asks
The Government should support essential workers by exempting them from any income tax increases that are required as a result of Covid-19. Essential works have been working during this period and putting themselves at risk whilst many others have been able to work from home or be furloughed.
The financial costs of the Covid-19 outbreak will create a significant burden for tax payers, and essential worker should not be penalised for this.
