Give all key workers a tax break for 2021

Closed 67 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to give back something to the key worker population within the United Kingdom. For the past year the key worker population has kept this country and the economy running.
Since the outbreak of the coronavirus in 2020 the key worker population of the United Kingdom have worked tirelessly and it looks like 2021 will be no different. As a country we owe a huge debt to the people that are keeping this country running wether it be supermarket staff or NHS workers, security professionals or public transport operators, these people have put themselves on the frontline and I believe the best way to thank them is to grant them a tax break/rebate for their contribution.
