While campaigning in Las Vegas over the weekend, candidate Kamala Harris stole Donald Trump’s policy proposal to eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers — a strange pivot, as Harris previously cast the tie-breaking vote for the Inflation Reduction Act, which provided $80 billion in additional funding to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Shortly after, the IRS announced new ways to track workers’ tips.

“Two years ago today, I proudly cast the tie-breaking vote to pass our Inflation Reduction Act,” Harris said in a social media post last week.

“On this vote, the yay’s are 50, the nay’s are 50. The Senate being equally divided, the vice president votes in the affirmative and the bill as amended is passed,” Harris said in the August 7, 2022, video.

From Breitbart News:

In February 2023, the IRS released a proposed revenue procedure known as the Service Industry Tip Compliance Agreement (SITCA) program.

The agency described SITCA as “a voluntary tip reporting program between the IRS and employers in various service industries” that would include “monitoring of employer compliance based on actual annual tip revenue and charge tip data from an employer’s point-of-sale system, and allowance for adjustments in tipping practices from year to year.”

“There’s no reason they’d be issuing guidance on how to crack down on this if it was only going to end up being voluntary,” Americans for Tax Reform’s Mike Palicz told Fox News at the time. “Ultimately, the goal is to go and grab as much revenue as possible and from whoever they can.”

“They told us they’re not going to be coming after people earning $400,000 or less,” Palicz added. “Well, here’s a new IRS rule that’s focused on bringing in tips from waitresses.”
