"The 5% tax on tips received by employees is an acceptable measure".
This is Federcuochi's comment on the rule included in the draft budget law approved by the Council of Ministers last November 21, with which tips pass from the ordinary Irpef tax to the reduced 5%, also valid in the case of electronic payments.
"An initiative of the new Government - underlines the federation - aimed at favoring the emergence of undeclared work and encouraging the employment of the many workers in the hospitality sector. waiters, bartenders, receptionists, who will see 25% of their total income deriving from tips subjected to reduced taxation up to a maximum of 50 thousand euros".
The paradox that sees tipping prohibited by the national labor contract remains to be resolved - concludes Federcuochi".
