    You pay taxes on tips? Not only are you not paying Your workers, and expect them to live on customers generosity, but You also tax the money that you don’t pay them.

        Tips are more like a gift than income. I’m fine not taxing tips, but also getting rid of sub minimum wage for tipped workers. Pay min, at least and tax that. Tips are extra and shouldn’t be taxed.

      The business isn’t paying their workers, but they’re not taxing the tips, the government is, like it taxes all wages. Realistically this proposal is just going to encourage more businesses to use tips to pay wages.
