Labour's proposal on overtime is a bad idea. It targets a part of part of the workforce. Not everyone works overtime. What is the advantage behind such a proposal? What is in it for the self-employed. First of all I declare that I am self-employed and therefore it effects me directly. I pay tax on all my income whether during "normal" working hours and after "normal" working hours. I know that cynics will say that the self-employed cheat on their taxes anyway. But that is beside the point. Not everyone is a cheat.
Secondly I shudder to think of those Government employees who work overtime in summer because the working day is too short who will not pay any tax at all.
Bad bad idea.
