Trump encourages voters to write ‘no tax on tips’ on restaurant receipts
Trump said restaurant workers, hotel workers and caddies would most benefit from his proposal
The former president has vowed to make tips tax-exempt to help service and hospitality workers, and is encouraging customers to write on receipts, "Vote for Trump, no tax on tips."
Former President Trump on Friday encouraged his voters to write on restaurant receipts to spread the word of his proposal to eliminate taxes on tips.
Trump made the remarks at an event celebrating his 78th birthday in West Palm Beach with members of Club 47.
The former president told the crowd that as part of his plan for further tax cuts, he would eliminate taxes on tips for "restaurant workers, hospitality workers and anyone else that gets tips."

"No tax on tips, okay? It’s done. Done. And we need to spread the word so that every time you leave a tip for the next five months, you put on the receipt, vote for Trump, because there’s no tax on tips," Trump said.
Trump first proposed the idea of eliminating taxes on tips during a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday.
Trump reiterated these ideas while addressing the "People’s Convention" of Turning Point Action in Michigan on Saturday.
"I have announced that I will eliminate taxes on gifts for restaurant workers and hospitality workers. And anyone else who relies on tips, no more taxes on tips! None," Trump said, noting that Kid Rock had taken up the suggestion to write on restaurant receipts.

"Vote Trump! No tax on tips!!" Greene wrote on the receipt.
