Trump Proposes Dubious Plan To End Taxes On Overtime Work
HuffPost
The policy could shrink tax revenue and incentivize working well beyond a 40-hour week.
At his first post-debate rally on Thursday, Donald Trump said he would end taxes on overtime work if he were elected president again.
“We will end all taxes for overtime,” Trump declared in Tucson, Arizona. “That gives people more of an incentive to work. It gives the companies… it’s a lot easier to get the people.”
Ending taxes on overtime pay would require an act of Congress. It could shrink tax revenue and incentivize working well beyond a 40-hour week.
The idea is reminiscent of Trump’s highly problematic proposal to end taxes on tips, which could prompt employers to shift workers’ pay from normal wages to gratuities and accelerate the phenomenon of “tip creep.” (His Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, proposed the same policy after Trump.)
On Thursday, Trump, without naming anyone, claimed experts had told him the no-taxes-on-overtime idea was “unbelievable.”
