Scrap NI and PAYE for people classed as key workers during Coronavirus outbreak.
Key workers should not pay NI and PAYE.
We feel that key workers during this coronavirus outbreak are working hard and putting in overtime to keep this country going and putting their lives at risk, so they deserve a little thank you such as a tax break.
Key workers list:
Doctors, nurses, paramedics, teachers, police and fire and rescue. Utilities and communication: Staff needed for gas, electricity and water. Food and other necessary goods: Those involved in food production, processing, distribution and sale.
