US EditionPresident Trump promised no taxes on tips, but workers are still waiting
- In June 2024, Donald Trump appeared at a campaign event in Sunset Park, Las Vegas, where he pledged that workers would not be taxed on their tips.
- Trump made this pledge part of his campaign agenda amid other fulfilled promises, while legislative efforts to end tip taxes stalled due to budget deal negotiations.
- Congressman Steven Horsford proposed a bipartisan bill to lift taxes on tips with safeguards against wage manipulation and a sub-minimum wage repeal, but it has not advanced.
- The Tax Foundation estimates the exemption could cost $118 billion over ten years, and workers like Heather Lind say delaying the promise's fulfillment causes uncertainty and hardship.
- The Culinary Union and advocates urge Trump to keep his word, while observers expect enough Democratic support to pass the measure if it addresses sub-minimum wages.
