Cut income tax on all NHS healthcare staff immediately
Cut income tax on all healthcare workers, to allow our taxes to be allocated to lower income families facing hardship through the Coronavirus crises.
I believe my income taxes could be cut to help those lower paid and self employed from facing financial ruin during the crises, we give so much to the NHS everyday and therefore feel it worthwhile for us to help others or ourselves and our families during this crises. My income tax would help so many others in dire need during these critical times. This would also help the lesson the burden on the economy during this difficult time. Together we can find a way to support one another.
