At the beginning of this week, the Republicans of the Republicans adopted a budget with a tight margin, which could ultimately cut off with an upcoming overtime remuneration.

As part of the proposal, employees who go beyond their regular working hours would not have to pay federal tax on a money earned in overtime, so that according to the USA Today, employees can maintain their salary more.

The plan deals with many campaigns by President Donald Trump, including tax cuts, without taxes on tips and no taxes on social security benefits. While the plan sets the framework, it can take some time for the measures to reach the workers.

“Overtime is treated as regular income. It is subject to the same federal and state income taxes as standard wages,” says information from Optima Tax Relief that offers tax relief services.

Trump promised to eliminate the taxation of overtime during the election campaign in November.

In January, MP Russ Fulcher (R-IDAHO) introduced the Keep Jed Extra Penny (Keep) Act, which would terminate income tax on overtime wages. He presented the idea for the first time in July.

“After years of suffocation of inflation, many are looking for financial relief,” Fulcher posted on his Facebook page at that time. “The act for additional penny (Keep), HR 405, will help to tackle the considerable lack of staff of our nation and to return more money to people's pockets.”

Possible concerns for employers

Tax Foundation, a non -profit organization in Washington, DC, examines tax policy, has concerns about what the elimination for employers and the current tax code could mean.

“While the most important details are missing in the overtime proposal, the exception of overtime of income tax would significantly distort the labor market decisions,” says a blog of the September Tax Foundation. “Employees would be encouraged to take over more overtime work, and hourly or garnished not freed workplaces can become more attractive if the benefits are not extended to employees that are freed from the Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in overtime rules.”

The group is also concerned that the changes reduce productivity at work.

“The introduction of an exemption for overtime work would only increase the time for overtime decisions for employees and classification agreements between employees and employers for tax purposes and distract them from productive activities,” the blog says. “In short, the reason for overtime would make the tax code unnecessarily difficult, increase compliance and administrative costs and reduce neutrality by favoring certain working agreements to others.”
