Any Senate tax bill that doesn’t exempt taxes on tips and overtime would be “dead on arrival” in the House, Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith (R-Mo.) said today on Bloomberg.

GOP Sens. including Thom Tillis (N.C.) and Lindsey Graham (S.C.) expressed skepticism about the cost and economic wisdom of including the two provisions, which were key campaign trail promises made by President Donald Trump. Senators instead called for funds to be used to make temporary business tax breaks permanent.

Such a change would a “no go” for House Republicans, Smith said. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said Trump told him this morning that tax exempt tips and overtime, as well as a tax cut for the elderly, are the most important provisions in the bill.
