What the petition asks
Give all "essential/key workers" namely those who have worked continuously throughout the pandemic and can prove as much earning under £28000 a full or partial refund of income tax paid from April 2020 to April 2021.
A one off gesture in recognition of those that have not had the benefit of being furloughed or given the opportunity to work from home.
I speak specifically of those in the retail (supermarkets and the like), care home, and public health sectors.
