Is salary and overtime money taxed separately?

Can income tax be charged from an income alone and not from an overtime money?

Salary and overtime pay are added together and taxed the same as per your marginal tax rate.

So if I didn't work overtime this month and I work overtime next month the tax charges would remain the same?

No, the tax charges will be more in the months you work overtime as your gross income will be higher.
