No Tax on Tips: A Bipartisan Proposal
Former President Trump and Vice President Harris have both proposed eliminating taxes on tips for service workers, a move that has garnered significant attention from various political spectrums. Trump originally introduced this idea, highlighting a conversation with a Nevada waitress who expressed concerns about the taxes taking a large portion of her tips. Harris later echoed this sentiment during a campaign speech, pledging her support for the proposal and insisting it would come with measures to prevent misuse by high-income earners. This bipartisan initiative aims to increase take-home pay for workers who rely on tips, yet it remains unclear how the proposals will be implemented and what types of taxes—income or payroll—will be affected.
