Adam Zyglis: Trump Budget Bill Passes
UNITED STATES, JUL 4 – The new law provides tax relief by allowing tipped workers to deduct up to $25,000 of tip income annually starting 2025, with benefits also extended to employers.
- On July 4, 2025, during a White House event held alongside Independence Day festivities, President Donald Trump enacted the comprehensive legislation known as the One Big, Beautiful Bill.
- The legislation introduces significant tax changes, notably the "No Tax on Tips" provision, which permits workers to reduce their taxable income by as much as $25,000 from declared tip earnings annually, beginning in 2025 and ending after the 2028 tax year.
- The bill also includes provisions for infrastructure investments such as modernizing air traffic control, funding the Coast Guard, and expanding air traffic controller hiring, while benefiting software companies through upfront R&D expensing.
- Morgan Stanley projects that Big Tech firms like Microsoft, Oracle, and Salesforce could see cash flow boosts up to 6%, with Okta possibly realizing a near 12% margin increase under new expensing rules.
- The bill received praise from freight and trucking groups emphasizing job security and growth, while some service workers expressed concerns about the tip deduction's limitations and its practical impact.
