Rejected petition Give 100% tax relief to key workers.

A large % of the work force are now at home self isolating and getting a 80% wage. Front line workers and key workers are still working, risking their health to keep the UK running and are getting taxed to do it. All key workers should have 100% tax relief until all businesses can go back to work.

More details

Financially it makes very little difference for any key workers to self isolate for two weeks and receive an 80% wage off the government. But they are still working hard and risking their own lives, and I think they deserve to be shown that their efforts are appreciated.
