🚨Breaking News: Democrat Governor blocks President Donald Trump's 'no tax on tips' rejecting a tax cut totalling tens of millions for the people of Virginia #Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Virginia Democrats have refused to honor tax on tips in the state. They blocked any change to Virginia’s tax code that would stop the state from taxing tips, forcing tipped workers to hand over a bigger share of their earnings to Richmond than they do to Washington. The federal “no tax on tips” policy was part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. It allows tipped workers to deduct up to $25,000 in tip income from their taxable income for tax years 2025 through 2028. The IRS reports that more than 6 million Americans have already claimed the deduction, with an average benefit of more than $7,100 per filer. Virginia, however, chose not to give the tax relief at a state level - with the new Democrat Governor ditching former Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin's budet proposals that included state-level deductions for tips, overtime pay and car-loan interest. The move will cost taxpayers in Virginia upwards of $80 million. Gov. Spanberger and her democrat colleagues have been accused of going on a 'taxing spree' since taking office, introducing dozens of new measures on taxing everything from digital services to dog walking. Tax proposals introduced by Virginia Democrats in the 2026 legislative session include: 🔷️3.8% net investment income tax on capital gains, dividends, interest, rental income, and other passive income for "higher earners " 🔷️Expanded sales tax on services like: fitness/gym memberships, pet care/dog walking/grooming, dry cleaning, vehicle repairs, home repairs, counseling, concerts/events, haircuts, and other personal services. 🔷️Tax or fee on retail deliveries - including food delivery like Uber Eats/DoorDash and packages from Amazon/UPS/FedEx, with some proposals for a 20-cent or 4.3% delivery fee especially in Northern Virginia 🔷️Taxes on firearms and ammunition - including an 11% excise tax proposal 🔷️Tax on large employers 🔷️Employer and employee premiums for a paid family and medical leave program - AKA new payroll-style tax 🔷️Regional local sales taxes in counties and cities - including for schools or transportation Tax on fantasy sports operators 🔷️New personal property tax on certain items like electric leaf blowers and landscaping equipment Tax on digital goods and subscriptions - including streaming services like Netflix 🔷️Higher hotel/motel taxes 🔷️Tax on data centers or skill games/gambling expansions for new revenue 🇺🇸ChristinaAguayoNews🇺🇸
