The Tips & Bonus Bill
North Carolina bill would stop taxing tips and bonus pay
No Tax on Tips, Overtime, Bonus Pay
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would let people keep more of their money by not taxing tips, overtime, and bonus pay, helping them have more cash.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would mean people who earn tips, work overtime, or get bonuses would see more money in their paychecks. It would leave more cash in the pockets of workers, especially those in service jobs. The state would collect less tax money, which could affect what services the state pays for. People should pay attention now because it is still moving through the legislature and could become law, changing how much money they take home.
