During a roundtable event in Michigan at an African-American church, former President Donald Trump once again promised that his administration was “not going to tax tips.”
While speaking to a restaurant owner during the roundtable event at 180 Church in Detroit on Saturday, Trump stated that if elected his administration was “not going to tax tips” for people such as waiters, waitresses, or car attendants who make tips.
“Tell your waiters and waitresses, and anybody else getting tips, ’cause they’re… a lot of people get tips,” Trump said. “Car attendants and caddies, and a lot of different people get tips. We are not going to tax tips – the tax immediately is coming off.”
“The government under Biden just passed new regulations to really go after these people,” Trump added. “And, they’re at a level like nobody’s ever seen. It’s like jail time stuff, to go after your waiters and your waitresses and other people getting tips.”
During a recent rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, the former president had vowed that his administration would “not charge taxes on tips.”
