Will you tip less when tips are not taxed?

[Anonymous]

Or it is just big bump up for them?

Democrats all voted against no tax on tips, I’m so over them I’m voting Republican next time.

[Anonymous]

No
I assumed most servers arent declaring above the minimum wage anyway, unless documented through credit card payments. And someplaces never gave the tips to their servers.

It will make me ask what the service charge goes for.

I won't be tipping at all because between tariffs and other financial mismanagement, I won't be able to afford it. So that should work out great for people in the service industry.

[Anonymous]

Absolutely!

I work in tax policy. This is one of the stupidest moments in tax policy history.

At any rate, I won't change my tipping because of it, and I imagine very few will. Tipping culture is ingrained in culture in a way that won't really allow people to tip less.

Absolutely..10-15%

I do not tip at all, so this will not affect me in the slightest.

Anyone still ripping ong USA restaurants post-covid is a fool anyway.

+1 Such a stupid proposal
But, I will continue to tip as I normally do -- 20 to 25% at a sit down restaurant, 0% at a fast casual / fast food restaurant.

no

No, I won’t tip less.

I don’t tip hourly employees or extra over the already included service charge.

I have worked in restaurants for nearly 30 years as a server. Can we discuss it, please. I'm wondering why this is happening possibly.
Every person who files taxes has a different situation, right?
From 1998-2006, I filed as a single person making $10k-$16k a year. This is indeed how little I made fro 40 hours. What taxes do I pay from it? I have almost never had a tax liability.
From 2007-2024, I have filed as HH making $10-$20k max. Big boost for me comes from my tax return.
Maybe it's just me, but if I'm not made to pay taxes as the income is low, I also can't get money from some of the credits or deductions like earned income credit, saver's credit.
Is it possible that this is a bad deal for me personally?
Pardon my English.

I don’t understand the logic behind no tax on tips (other than pandering). Why wouldn’t this income be subject to taxes?
