The “No Tax on Tips” provision sounds great — but here’s the catch:
📉 Digital tips don’t count. App-based tips like those via Radium Payments are still taxed — even as more customers go cashless.

Another overlooked detail: digital tips don’t count under this provision.
That’s a huge miss, especially as more tips are moving cashless (via apps, POS, etc.).
So while the headlines say “no tax on tips,” the fine print excludes many modern earners.
