President Biden would sign a bill that would eliminate taxes on tipped wages, the White House said Monday, seeming to agree with a policy first floated by former President Trump.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated the Biden administration’s position during a news briefing.
“Look, this is something that the president supports”,she said. “He supports eliminating taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers while also raising minimum wage and preventing the wealthy from gaming the system.”
Vice President Kamala Harris has also taken the same stance on taxing tips. On Saturday, she promised to endorse policies to benefit working families.
“It is my promise to everyone here when I am president, we will continue our fighting for working families of America including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers”, she said at a campaign rally in Las Vegas.
