You... check the tax tables before you tip somebody? Sounds pretty complicated to me.
Personally, I just... tip.

The whole tip situation is an abomination anyway.
The minimal wage (in US) is $7.25/hr, but, somehow, restaurant (tipped) workers could be LEGALLY paid just $2.19/hr!
In other countries, waiters are being paid a "normal" wage, so they don't need tips or gladly accept small tips.
Now, tips had "crawled' their way into places where tipping was not typical for, historically.
I am being asked for a tip at the register at the bakery, lol.
Crazy!

I must admit, lots of Harris’s promises are a bit hollow. She’s the Vice President, why couldn’t she force some of these promises through whilst she has been a part of the current administration? She doesn’t care about you, typical Democrat, do whatever you can to hold onto power once you get it. Get them out of The Whitehouse.
Either way the tower is falling... Is the square ready?
She was the vice president to Joe Biden, what did she do to let people know that she have the experience to run the race of presidency, but there is no such evidence for some years she spend with Joe Biden as vice president.
Neither supporting or against her campaign promise of removing taxes on tips but as vice president I don't think there was anything she could do without the consent of the president elect to whom she was just a flag bearer to then. The politics is that as vice president you should only be seen but not heard which makes it that even if she had nurse such idea all the years as Biden's VP nothing she can do about it if Biden doesn't buy into it. I think she's taking the opportunity of her now been in the front burner as the presidential candidate not as VP to make her intent known now. Nonetheless, with the inflation condition on the USA economy I wonder how she plans to do that now the government need this taxes like never before to clean up certain deficits. As a spectator I wait earnestly to see what plans she has peradventure she wins the election against her major rival D. Trump.
Just like that, taxes on tips gone. Even if Kamala wins (never underestimate how stupid groups of people can be) we all owe Trump for this development. Also, I would like to announce that as of 2025 I will no longer sell anything but am willing to reward people with items for tips. I think it may be also nearing time to relocate my Nasty project back into the United States.
When elected, Trump will eliminate Federal income taxes. This includes taxes on tips. People will consider moving to States without income taxes, like Texas.
The thing that Texas appears to have done when they named their State, is to switch the 'e' and the 'a' in taxes.
Lol. I mistakenly read "taxes" in OP as "Texas" and I didn't make any meaning from it. Like why will Harris eliminate Texas? Not untill I read the second time. The thing that Texas appears to have done when they named their State, is to switch the 'e' and the 'a' in taxes.
I was reading that Trump is a pro bitcoin, I had a chuckle. Now, Harris is being campaigned as a pro bitcoin, lol. Elections will come and go and we all will remain here.
That's actually something Biden would say
I don't think, she will fulfill this taxation promise because Joe Biden who was the president did not make such promise during his tenure because he understood that every government use taxes to develop their country or Harris have other way she can help U.S to fight this inflation. If you look at her promise during some campaign rally, you will know that she will not going to make any difference with Joe Biden tenure because she is doing all those things to get population of voters which it will be very hard for her to beat Donald trump in this election.

She's lying about that. What did she do to eliminate taxes in her whole political career? Nothing!
Of course Trump is also lying. I don't believe any of them when it comes to things like bitcoin adoption or taxation.
Isn't she currently serving?
Can't she pursue this now?
The Congress is not under the control of Harris's party, but rather is half-controlled by Trump's. That means her party and Biden could not pass anything, especially something that made her look better to voters.
Do you now mean that all of Kamala Harris' promises will depend on Congress?
Not all of them. The president can do a lot by themselves in terms of policy.
And Trump can and will do... whatever he wants to do without Congress passing a law.
For instance, Trump can make the abortion pill illegal nationwide in his first day in office by simply failing to defend against the ridiculous lawsuits Republicans have filed against it. He would literally have to do exactly nothing.
And many states are passing laws--that are against the Constitution--to keep women who want abortions trapped inside of their borders so they can't go to a free state or leave the country to have one. The President would be the one in charge of stopping states from doing that, and Trump obviously would not do any such thing, essentially making these state laws perfectly legal and enforceable.

The truth is that eliminating taxes on tips is not on the agenda of the current government.
I'm usually pretty skeptical about this kind of stuff, but I actually think this proposal has a good chance of making it. Like I said, it targets the kinds of voters that typically vote Democrat.
And traditional conservatives hate this idea, for the reasons I mentioned above.

Some workers, such as restaurant employees, prefer an increase in wages to the elimination of tax on tips. But in my country, service workers are not taxed on the gifts or tips they receive. You are only taxed on your formal income.

Do you now mean that all of Kamala Harris' promises will depend on Congress? So, if Democrats fail to get the majority in the legislative arm, her campaign promises will not see the light of day. The truth is that eliminating taxes on tips is not on the agenda of the current government. They would have easily lobbied some Republicans who could support the bill in Congress. Harris got this idea from Trump and that's not wrong. She is free to learn from anybody as long as it will be for the benefit of the people. After all Trump cannot claim ownership of all the ideas he has been brandishing in his campaign. He has even been accused of using people's intellectual property (songs) without permission.

Oh I don't know. This is a relatively new idea and Democrats don't have a majority in Congress right now so they cannot pass anything (Trump even blocks things that Republicans agree on because he wanted to prevent Biden from doing anything that would make him look better to voters).
This is a popular idea, and it targets a key constituency of the Democrats, so I can very much see this getting passed if Harris wins and has a majority in Congress.
Republicans, meanwhile, favor only tax cuts for rich people, and have in the past moved to increase taxes on lower-waged workers because they say low/no taxes for those workers disconnects them from the true price of government and they will tend not to care about increased spending (which is a decent argument, as far as I am concerned).

Is this the first policy point we've seen from her?
No. Unlike the Republicans, who are very thin on policy and make the election mostly about Trump's personality, Harris has a very detailed policy agenda which she talks about constantly. The biggest and most popular of these is keeping abortion legal in the US.

To me it would be a good step in the right direction of Kamala Harris decided to completely eliminate taxes on tips for service workers, like those who work in restaurants and other retailer establishments. I have not worked in such kind of jobs, by the way, but I have read tipping is a very important part of the economical stability of those who work in such industries, liberating those workers from having to give part of their tips to the government will be well received by those workers. Though, I am not sure how much this whole measures could negative impact the United States deficit in the long term, each penny which does not enter into the government's trunks had come some from lenders from the outside of the USA.

Trump himself isn't even lying that lie, which is saying something.
Certainly we will have to wait and see. But, he promised it, and he hasn't taken it back, has he?

If Kamala Harris is elected, we could very well see the end of the taxation on service tips in the USA:

This is really good for Bitcoin and digital currencies generally since it gets the IRS out of the picture when dealing with small transfers of tips. I've always wanted to be able to tip people with digital cash (e.g. without an exchange of personal info like with a credit card), but taxation rules get in the way--and gives governments a reason to regulate digital currency transactions even when they are small, e.g. ten dollars.
This is a really good thing for the US generally and for the Bitcoin (and broader digital currency) community.
Also, communism. This clearly shows that Harris is communist, since Karl Marx wrote extensively about tax reductions for service workers in the Communist Manifesto. She can't fool us. Reducing taxes is the new way the communists are going to attack us. Republicans need to respond by raising taxes so they can show that they aren't communists like the Democratic communists.
