Voluntary tips are gifts. Forced tips are not, nor are wages.
Homeless people never pay tax for handouts.
Since servers and the like are already paid a wage, anything on top of that should be considered a gift.
It makes sense to me, even using today’s tax code approach. It has been wrong to tax gifts.
answer to this is to make those jobs that have alternative minimum wages, such as waiters, that have tips as a required compensation, to no long be exempted for the current minimum wages.
If McDonalds staff get paid minimum wage, I fail to see why a diner shouldn’t.
I really despise these little cutouts for special interests in laws, like this one.
only ones that sort of make sense are the agricultural ones.
