Rejected petition Make overtime pay tax-free to support workers and boost the UK economy!

We urge the Government to make overtime pay tax-free. This would support workers facing rising costs, encourage part-time staff to take on extra hours, and help fill labour shortages. By allowing workers to keep their full overtime earnings, it would boost incomes and drive economic growth.

More details

Making overtime pay tax-free would provide financial relief to workers struggling with rising living costs, incentivise part-time staff to work extra hours, and address critical labour shortages. This policy would boost disposable incomes, increase productivity, and strengthen the UK economy overall.
