In Nevada, Trump proposes ending taxation of tips

Campaigning in a state powered by the service industry, Donald Trump said Sunday that his administration would eliminate taxes on tipped income as a “first thing” if he is reelected.

“For those hotel workers and people that get tips, you’re going to be very happy. Because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips,” Trump said during a rally in Las Vegas.

Any change to the taxation of tipped income would require an act of Congress. When asked for more detail on the policy change, a spokeswoman said: “President Trump will ask Congress to eliminate taxes on tips.”
