Senate Plans to Deliver Trump-Backed Tip, Overtime Tax Breaks

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Republicans in his chamber expect to deliver on President Donald Trump’s campaign promises to exempt tips, overtime pay, Social Security and auto loan interest from taxes.

“I think that the president as you know campaigned hard on no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, Social Security, interest on car loans — those were all things that are priorities for the administration and they were addressed in the House bill and I expect they will be in the Senate as well,” Thune told reporters.
