Senate Moves to Eliminate Taxes on Tips

The Senate unexpectedly passed a bipartisan bill on Tuesday aimed at eliminating taxes on tips by a unanimous vote of 100-0.

This legislation, proposed by Republican Senator Ted Cruz from Texas, would exempt tips from federal income taxation. Its passage is seen as a significant commitment for President Donald Trump’s campaign ahead of the 2024 presidential election and promises to provide tax relief for workers in the service industry.

“I took the floor today with Senator Rosen to make sure this bill passed,” Cruz remarked in a statement after the vote. He emphasized that the new law would significantly benefit millions of American workers, particularly those living paycheck to paycheck. Cruz also encouraged his colleagues in the House to support the bill and push it towards the president’s desk.
