The government is to amend rules on part-time work so that pensioners who work part-time for the government can be entitled to the reduced tax rate of 15 per cent, Finance Minister Tonio Fenech announced this evening.

Speaking in Parliament, he said that civil servants who work part-time in separate sections of the government will similarly become eligible for the reduced tax rate and the definition of 'same employer' will be amended.

Furthermore, the deadline for the submission of the income tax return by part timers is being extended to June 30 from February 15.
