Lummis applauds Senate passage of No Tax on Tips Act

CHEYENNE (WNE) — U.S. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., issued the following statement Tuesday after the unanimous passage of the No Tax on Tips Act, a proposal originally made by President Trump. If passed into law, this bipartisan legislation would exempt tips from being subject to federal income tax.

“The Senate passage today of President Trump’s No Tax on Tips proposal is a victory for Wyoming’s blue-collar workers who will now keep every dollar they earn in tips,” Lummis’ statement said. “I support this common sense tax relief that puts more money into the hands of Wyoming workers while upholding the conservative principle of rewarding hard work.”

The bill exempts “cash tips” — cash, credit and debit card charges, and checks — from federal income tax by allowing taxpayers to claim a 100% deduction at filing for tipped wages.

The updated text includes guardrails to ensure only traditionally tipped employees will benefit, the news release said.
