I propose to increase personal allowance for all keyworkers by 8K in 2020/21

Petition Details

Keyworkers who worked during the COVID-19 outbreak in the UK be given the opportunity to apply for a one off increase of personal allowance for the coming 2020/21 tax year.

Additional Information

Key workers are the real heroes during this very difficult period. This incentive would make them feel valued by our government for taking the risks of staying at work to save the lives of thousands of Brits.
