HB 282 Hawaii House · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO TAXATION.

HB 282 would allow tipped employees, such as restaurant servers and bartenders, to deduct the tips they receive from their taxable income. This reduces the portion of their earnings subject to income tax. The bill directly affects workers who rely on tips as part of their income. It provides a concrete tax change without altering other tax rates or brackets.
