Petition Action

Stop the government taking 32% of all overtime salary earned.

Petition Details

Working people have at least 32% of their salary deducted in income tax and national insurance if they earn about £12500 per year. This is a substantial amount of money taken away from people who work.

Additional Information

It is unfair that hard working people choose to work extra hours to provide for their families, going above and beyond despite for many years pay rises not matching the cost of inflation. I believe it’s fair that if someone chooses to earn extra money, almost half of it isn’t taken from them in tax and national insurance. Ultimately the government wouldn’t receive this money if people did not choose to work these extra hours, which is time away from their families.
