Bipartisan ‘No tax on tips’ act, a Trump campaign idea, introduced in the Senate

By Casey Harper | The Center Square President-elect Donald Trump made news on the campaign trail last year when he proposed “no tax on tips.” Now, that pledge is likely to become reality. Sens.

Senate Republicans propose bill slashing taxes from tips

All cash tips must be reported to the employer.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON TIMES
