Establishing no tax on tips or overtime compensation
SB 460 would exempt tips and overtime compensation from West Virginia's personal income tax. This means workers earning tips (such as in restaurants) or overtime pay (for hours beyond 40 in a week) would not owe state income tax on those earnings. Employers would still be required to report these payments as part of their tax filings, but the state would not tax them. The bill directly affects all West Virginia workers who receive tips or overtime compensation, including service industry employees and hourly workers.
