Reform UK has pledged to scrap income tax on overtime pay for workers earning under £75,000 a year, with leader Nigel Farage calling his party “the true party of the workers now”.
Writing in The Telegraph, Farage said people who “put in the extra hours” at work currently see “no real reward at the end of the month”.
“At the moment, people in this country who work hard currently receive nothing from the state but eye-watering bills and sky-high taxes. Under a Reform UK government that will all change. Our message is clear: If you work hard, you will be rewarded,” he said.
The announcement of the “Hard Work Bonus” policy was made during the Makerfield by-election campaign, where Reform is running a close second to Labour – 40 per cent to 43 per cent according to Survation – ahead of the 18 June vote.
Who could benefit from Reform’s policy?
