They don't do it here in the UK because the government are looking for ways to create more tax. Increase in domestic fuel bills creates more VAT, tax at the fuel pumps and now an increase in alcohol prices equals even more VAT. It's the same pattern over the country, they will never give anything back to the true citizen's, only the migrants who have contributed very little. |

Well you're NOT in France, are you? It's income, and you must declare all income here, whether earned here or in France. Sounds like excuses for not putting in the extra time. You can reduce your taxable income by contributing to the 401k at work, and you also get matching money from your employer. Just don't take it out until you're 59 1/2. Do you know what the tax rate is on individuals in France?? Be glad you're not there! |

Tax is assessed on Gross Earnings. The Government earns Billions on the overtime people work. France is a Republic and their President is replaceable. Wait and see what the next one will do. Incidently some workers get days off in lieu of overtime so no money is paid to these workers. The UK Government would like to stop this practice. |

This Government reckons all personal assets are an assault on its entitlements, so non-taxation of overtime pay just isn't going to happen in the UK.
Tax is based on level of income, not how many hours you work, or the effort put into getting it. You know what to do at the next election, don't you? |

it's because of our graduated income tax system, and overtime is more income. our whole tax system needs to be overhauled. i like the idea of getting rid of the irs and the income tax, and repealing the income tax amendment (16 i think). i would suggest replacing it with a national sales tax, or some other consumption tax, and slashing stupid spending. |
