How Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Could Impact Gamblers
- US President Donald Trump is pushing the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' for a House vote that includes a 1% tax on remittance transfers.
- This bill follows earlier versions proposing higher remittance taxes and changes to gambling tax codes that sparked opposition from players and lawmakers.
- The remittance tax applies only to cash, money orders, and cashier's checks, exempting bank and card transfers, while gambling loss deductions would be capped at 90%.
- Approximately 4.5 million people of Indian origin residing in the US—the second-largest immigrant population—may be impacted by the updated tax regulations on remittances, which reached $129 billion for India during 2023-24.
- The bill's passage would mark a key legislative moment for Trump but faces criticism over rising debt, cuts to welfare, and adverse effects on professional gamblers and immigrant communities.
