Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz has provided a big update after the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate voted 100-0 to pass his “No Tax On Tips Act,” giving President Donald Trump another major legislative win.
Cruz is pushing the bill, which would remove tips from federal income tax and was championed on the campaign trail by Trump.
Cruz said the bill will be voted on in the GOP-controlled House in the coming days and will head to the president’s desk for a signature to make it law. The bill aims to help millions of American workers who depend on tips for a big part of their income.
“President Trump made a promise to the American people that he would eliminate taxes on tips. In Congress, I formed a bipartisan, bicameral coalition to get that done, and in the Senate introduced the No Tax on Tips Act. Today, I went with Senator Rosen to the floor to secure Senate passage of the bill,” Cruz said.
