“In fact, 83% of hourly workers want to see NO TAX ON TIPS become law….”
In an article issued Friday, the White House asserted that, according to a new survey, “Hourly workers in the service, hospitality, and retail industries overwhelmingly back President Donald J. Trump’s bold NO TAX ON TIPS plan in the One Big Beautiful Bill.” The reported survey results, the article said, show that 83 percent of hourly workers want to see the administration’s “NO TAX ON TIPS” proposal become law, with just four percent saying otherwise.
“These results suggest that any measure increasing the amount of immediately available income—such as untaxed tips—would provide meaningful, stabilizing support for a large segment of the hourly workforce,” the report said.
The White House quoted the observations of one Nevada food service worker posted on the X social media platform: “I don’t know what the holdup is. I don’t know what the politics are, but if we can cut the BS now … it can help out a lot of people.”
The nationwide survey, conducted by Instant Financial, involved 571 workers who use the fintech company’s Instant app to access digital tips and earned wages.
