Bessent Pushes Tipping Plan On Labor Day Restaurant Tour

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promoted the tipping provision during a Labor Day tour of three Washington-area restaurants. He described the list of covered occupations as “expansive but fair.”

Trump's Tip Tax Break Faces Backlash, Debt Concerns

The “no tax on tips” provision is part of President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, offering a deduction of up to $25,000 for qualifying workers. The deduction is available from 2025 through 2028, regardless of whether or not workers itemize deductions.

The benefit phases out above $150,000 in income ($300,000 for joint filers). It applies to employees and some self-employed workers, but excludes those in specified service trades or businesses under section 199A.

Despite the potential benefits, some in the service industry have expressed caution, warning that the provision may be “too good to be true.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) previously criticized the provision, describing it as a “scam” that does not live up to its promise when weighed against the other damaging aspects of the bill. The bill, which was narrowly passed by Senate Republicans, could add $3.3 trillion to the national debt.
