We are talking here about people who, in many cases, have not been working since March because of Government restrictions. These restrictions had to be put in place but the fact that these people have not been working since March has had a massive financial as well as mental health impact on them. Now we are saying that we will tax them retrospectively. What legal advice has the Minister received on this retrospective taxation?
