Stop being taxed after 40 hours work.

What the petition asks
After the year we’ve had all the workers that have carried on through the pandemic. I think everyone should only get taxed on 40 hours work. Any overtime should be tax free. Reward the people who are working hard instead of taking from them.
Because we work hard and overtime is a great way to earn extra cash but we barely get the extra because it’s taxed basically working overtime to pay the tax.
