Senate UNANIMOUSLY Passes No Tax on Tips Act by Unanimous Consent

The Senate passed the No Tax on Tips Act with a unanimous consent vote Tuesday, sending the standalone bill to the House of Representatives. 

The bill allows taxpayers to claim a 100% deduction on tipped wages.

The House is currently weighing the proposal in the larger Trump-backed “Big Beautiful” budget reconciliation bill, for which some Republicans in both chambers have shown opposition.

On Tuesday, President Trump delivered remarks to House Republicans on Capitol Hill, where he reportedly asked lawmakers to stop haggling over the bill and move it forward to his desk.

The legislation includes an expansion of the 2017 Trump tax cuts, no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, and no tax on overtime workers.

If the bill passes, “on top of all of these trade deals that we’re doing, this country will hit a point that you better go out and buy stock now. Let me tell you, this country will be like a rocket ship that goes straight up,” Trump has said.

Per Breitbart, the Senate passed the no tax on tips proposal by unanimous consent, meaning no Senators objected to the expidited passage.
