Make overtime tax-free above 40 hours per week

Closed 41 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to change the tax system for overtime. We believe the Government get enough income tax based on standard weekly hours.
Making overtime above 40 hours tax-free could help incentive increased production, better standards of living, and increase spending due to the increase in disposable income.

The UK public is already stretched thin financially, it's time to give something back.
