TAX INFORMATION

We are not tax advisors and you should seek information from a professional tax advisor in your country. In most cases however, our understanding is that Strike tips work just like cash tips, because it’s money you have received directly as a tip without an employer’s involvement. In most countries the government do expect you to pay tax on anything you earn over a certain amount – this includes cash tips. The good news with Strike is that your employer doesn’t have to guess how much you’ve earned, in fact your employer doesn’t even need to get involved. You will know exactly what you have earned in Strike tips and can share this with tax authorities if required. If you are using Strike independently, for example collecting tips for your band, you should include any tips you’ve received in your tax return just like any other income. To find out more, ask your employer or ask the tax authorities in your country. You can see the official guidance from the IRS in the USA here.
