TL;DR
Quebec has introduced new rules for reporting tips, requiring restaurant workers to declare all gratuities to ensure accurate income reporting for tax purposes. Starting next year, these rules will include all tips, not just credit card tips, aiming to close gaps in tip reporting and enhance government tax revenues. While some workers support the transparency for benefits like pensions, others worry about lower overall income due to potential employer cost-cutting measures. The government believes mandatory tip reporting is necessary for fairness and societal benefits, despite mixed reactions from the hospitality industry.
