The incentive to work would be the ability to live above the subsistence level.
Furthermore, the adoption of a universal basic income would allow the government to eliminate the bureaucracy associated with many existing programs. The maintenance of these bureaucracies is the primary cost of government. Also, the minimum wage would become irrelevant and could be eliminated. Incomes in excess of the UBI would, of course, be subject to the income tax.
