Reform UK proposes abolishing income tax on overtime pay for employees earning below £75,000. Workers who earn under that threshold and work beyond a 40-hour week would keep all additional pay. The policy is branded as a “hard work bonus” and is estimated to cost about £5 billion per year. The plan is positioned as a way to reward hard work, lift productivity, and return more than £1,000 a year to workers such as nurses, police officers, and factory hands. The proposal is timed to coincide with the Makerfield by-election campaign and is framed as an effort to appeal to working voters.
"For Business Matters readers running payroll, the policy lands somewhere between a productivity opportunity and an administrative headache. It also marks Mr Farage's most pointed move yet to recast Reform as the natural home of the working voter - territory Labour has long taken as its own."
