Rejected petition All NHS Workers to receive a different Taxing bracket smaller than current Tax

Rejected on 28 July 2021

Currently the NHS workers aren’t being paid enough, and also are being taxed so highly if earning above a certain annual income, barely enough to pay their own monthly responsibilities. Considering the field the NHS work in, the workers shouldn’t be paying as much tax as other workers.

This would encourage a higher amount of people to work in the NHS, which in return would relieve high stress on the NHS and a higher rate of employment. It would also boost the protection of the country from pandemics, and better prepare the country from dangerous situations.

Why was this petition rejected?
