Tip Reporting Compliance for Beauty Service Industry?

A bill proposed in Congress (H.R. 821), entitled the Small Business Tax Fairness and Compliance Simplification Act, would essentially apply the current rules on tipping for the food and beverage industry to the beauty service industry. The beauty industry would mean barbering and hair care, nail care, esthetics, and body ad spa treatments. The measure would include a tip safe harbor program for employers. There’s no indication of whether this bill will be enacted. #IdeaoftheDay
