Statement from Brittny Anderson on Rustad’s tip trick
Today John Rustad claimed he would take the tax off tips, but he can’t because tips are included in taxable income according to federal laws.
Brittny Anderson, BC NDP Candidate for Kootenay Central:
“Rustad continues to try and hide from his 20 year record as a BC Liberal cabinet minister. When I worked as a server, John Rustad and the BC Liberals made sure restaurant and bar workers were paid less than the minimum wage and that our bosses were allowed to take a cut of our tips. John Rustad and the BC Liberals also had the lowest minimum wage in the country. Now he expects servers to believe he’s suddenly on their side? Here's a tip - don't believe him.”
