Overtime Pay and Claims: Taxable Employment Income

Overtime allowances and pay claims are taxable. Separate concessions for overtime meals or transport do not exempt the overtime pay itself.

Source checked · 11 October 2026

Identify the payment

The table includes weekend, public-holiday, late-hour and overlapping-shift claims as taxable overtime income. Report the actual remuneration through the applicable employment-income route. If a payment instead reimburses a meal or transport expense, consult its dedicated conditions and keep it separately classified rather than treating every overtime-related payment alike.
