Trump’s No-Tax-Tips List: From Golf Caddies to DJs, Freedom Rings!

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent took a star-studded Labor Day restaurant tour in suburban Virginia — because nothing says 'tax policy' like sampling 3 random diners while announcing a list of 68 jobs qualifying for the 'no tax on tips' deduction in the Trump megabill. From bartenders to eyebrow waxing wizards, and gambling dealers who probably don’t gamble much on taxes, the list spans eight categories, including rare gems like rickshaw drivers and home electricians. Bessent cheerfully noted '$20 here and $20 there can make a big difference,' proving even paperwork values your rich tips. Next stop: Federal Register drama.
