Has the tax on tips been abolished yet ?

[OrphanSlug]

Hmm… are you asserting that politicians lie?

Me?! The forum cynic, asserting that politicians lie? What would have given you such an idea?

Kamala ran on it too. It's going to be interesting to watch the contortions Democrats will be making trying to justify voting against something that their candidate ran on.

Nope, since it will be a tiny part of a huge (multi-issue) bill. The creation of huge (multi-issue) bills allows a congress critter to say they based their yea/nay vote on some piece of it.

 

[Bodecea]

Since you aren't an American, you might be excused for not knowing how our legislative process works, but, because of that, don't you think you should educate yourself before spouting nonsense to a forum FULL of Americans?

Xenophobia.

It will also allow the Republicans to claim that Drmocrats killed the bill that eliminated taxes on tips. Dirty politics cut both ways.

Trump would not announce a policy without working out the detail. He is a man of honour.

“Their candidate” lost and is no longer in politics. The guy that won is responsible for keeping the promises he made.
Need a list of them?

Trump won Nevada mainly due to him promising no tax on tips.

 

[Stealers Wheel]

I don't earn tips these days, but I think tip income should not be taxed, and here's why:

A tip is not legally required. It is a gift, a way for the customer to say "Thank you." Completely discretionary.

If a single person, say a close friend or family member, were to give you a cash gift of $18,000, that is not a taxable event to either the giver or recipient.*

However, if 18,000 people were to give you, a waitress, a cash gift of $1 each , all 18,000 cash gifts are taxable to the recipient.

Who tends to pass out gifts around $18,000? Rich people, that's who. Who tends to tip their servers? Everyone else.

Working class people have their gifts taxed. Rich folks, not so much.

*The gift tax limit is $18,000 in 2024 and $19,000 in 2025. Note that this annual exclusion is per gift recipient. So, you could give away the limit to several different people in a single year and still not have to file a gift tax return and possibly pay the gift tax.

America's legislative process:
1. The legislative branch cowers under the bed.
2. The executive branch rules by EO.
3. The judicial branch protects the executive from prosecution.
4. Mycroft endorses the tyranny.

Also you are dismissed.

Somewhat.
More like -
1) The legislative branch is motivated first by corporate/big donor interest, secondly getting re-elected. Everything circles around that.
2) The executive branch rules by EO.
3) The judicial branch prevents the two above from going full retard.
4) The FED is a high-high class club making sure all 3 stay with the globalist/corporatist tyranny

This was one of Trumps major policy promises but its all gone quiet on that front.
Has trump sneaked through the measure without telling anyone ?

Maybe thats what happened ?

No that's not what happened. There's a pending budget reconciliation package in the works that will include eliminating taxes on Tips, Overtime,`and Social Security bennies. . . .the package will be put to Congress in a couple weeks.

When he made the claim some cynical people reckoned that Musk was more likely to get a tax cut before those greedy billionaire waitresses. But we all know that donny is 100% for the litttle people.

Now that he has brought peace to Ukraine its time to take care of the small details.

President Trump has done more in the first three weeks of his term that most presidents get done in their entire term. This drives the left batty.

Thats coming, right after they put the finishing touches on our awesome TrumpCare™ plans. I'd say it should take about 2 more weeks.

Its gonna be Y U G E.

Nonsense.

I don't consider panic buyer to be strange or alien. I have no fear of him.

LMAO. Executive orders arent worth the paper theyre written on Chief.

Crooked donnie has gotten NOTHING accomplished. War in Ukraine still going. Grocery prices SKYROCKETING. Rents sure arent going down in my area either.

"On. Day. One."

And you bought it Chief. LOL. Way to go!!

Really? What bill? I'd like to check it out.

 

[Parker_Chess]

The crumbs that Trump throws at the working people. It's funny how easily people get captivated by this meanwhile ignoring the billionaires running our government and ****ing over ordinary people on a regular day basis.

 

[NJBob]

There's a pending budget reconciliation package in the works that will include eliminating taxes on Tips, Overtime,`and Social Security bennies. . .

I’ll believe it when I see it.

More likely any upcoming tax bill will primarily include tax cuts for the wealthy and large businesses. Anything else will be crumbs for the working and middle classes.

Oh yeah, and the national debt will skyrocket.

Kamala ran on it too. It's going to be interesting to watch the contortions Democrats will be making trying to justify voting against something that their candidate ran on.

Using their huge majority ?

He's been in office for less than 3 weeks, and this would require legislation.

That would make sense. But most of his EOs have been found illegal.

they don't need the majority to block legislation.

There is this misnomer that servers make no money. In comparison to other service jobs - they are among the highest earning.

Bullshit. “Service jobs” includes occupations from cashier at McDonalds to lawyers.

“There's a pending budget reconciliation package in the works that will include eliminating taxes on Tips, Overtime,`and Social Security bennies. ”

None of that will ever happen.
Just like the wall that Mexico will pay for never happened, ending the war in Ukraine “before I even take office “ didn’t happen, and the price of groceries coming down never happened.
When will people like you understand that you are supporting a pathological liar?

See post #9.

Yes, there are revenue implications. Nowever, in the spirit of equity, since a tip is not deductible for the giver then it ought not be taxable to the recipient.
