Rejected petition All Covid-19 “key workers” to be given a 2 year income tax break post-crisis

Government to recognise ALL frontline “key workers” putting their personal safety and well-being aside to aide with the health, security, education and supply chain throughout the unprecedented Covid-19 crisis. This recognition to take the form of a 100% 2 yr income tax exemption for all who serve.

More details

All armed forces personnel past, present and future within the UK do so in the full knowledge that they may face an enemy and all inherent risks held therein. All of the individuals who fall within the Government “key worker” designation are now frontline personnel facing a deadly and invisible enemy for the good of our nation. The risks, particularly to those within the NHS, are above those expected within any employment contract. This bravery and dedication should be rewarded and recognised.
