Corona Virus - Tax free Redundancy Pay

Petition Details

The Government should implement an immediate tax free scheme for those who have been made redundant during the coronavirus Covid-19 crisis.
Doing this will reduce pressures caused by acts of desperation.

Additional Information

Trialling a tax relief for all residents who lost their jobs would give home and food security, allowing people to make the right decisions for their families and wider society, whilst also keeping money flowing through the economy.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand that you want the Government to change how people who are made redundant are taxed, but it's not clear exactly how you want the Government to do this.

Redundancy pay under £30,000 is already not taxable, and it's not clear if you want this exemption to be extended, or for the Government to make some other changes to support people who have been made redundant.

You could start a new petition stating in more detail what action you would like the Government to make.
