The Big Beautiful Bill passed in July includes tax changes affecting working-class Americans, with a tip and overtime tax break offering relief until 2028.
The tax break allows individuals like service workers to deduct tips and overtime wages from their taxable income, reclaiming up to $25,000 annually for couples.
However, starting in 2026, a new 1% excise tax will be imposed on certain outbound remittance transfers, adding a financial burden for those sending money overseas.
While the Big Beautiful Bill benefits some workers, particularly in service industries, it introduces challenges for individuals sending money abroad, emphasizing the need for tax planning.
