The Treasury Department released the list of jobs that will benefit from the Trump administration’s “no tax on tips” policy under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

At least 68 jobs qualify for the new tax deduction under the law. The Federal Register will begin publishing the full list under proposed Treasury and IRS regulations.

"For workers, $20 here and $20 there can make a big difference," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said during an interview at McLean's Family Restaurant in suburban Virginia, reported by Axios.

The law applies only to those earning less than $150,000 per year, with a cap of $25,000. It will be in effect from 2025 through 2028.

"What we don’t want is people to game the system. We want it to be hard-working Americans who depend on tips. Their first $25,000 is tax-free and that’s going to cover a huge number of American workers," Bessent told the Washington Examiner. 

"Thanks to President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, they’ll see No Tax on Tips and No Tax on Overtime, so they can keep more of their hard-earned money!" the Treasury secretary added in a message posted on his X account.

The BBB

In July, after months of internal debate, public criticism and even resignations, Congress gave the green light to the “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” In the Senate, the vote ended in a 50-50 tie—with three Republicans opposed—forcing Vice President JD Vance to cast the deciding vote in favor of the measure.

The situation was different in the House of Representatives. After an extended day to bring the bill to the floor, it passed with 218 votes in favor and 212 opposed, with only two Republican lawmakers voting against it.
