This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand that you want the Government to reward NHS workers, but it's not clear exactly how you want the Government to do this.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Incentivise NHS staff during the COVID19 outbreak by making wages untaxable: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/304595

Increase pay for NHS healthcare workers and recognise their work: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300073

Fund increased death in service benefits for NHS staff who die during Covid-19: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/307592

If you want the Government to provide additional tax exemptions for NHS workers, you could start a new petition stating clearly what you want these to be.
