In general though I do think this is a way to increase taxable revenue for the government. I've seen scenarios where people get a four hundred a check increase in pay but only net around a hundred and fifty.

Years ago, I had friends in the restaurant industry. They would think they were being honest by declaring tips at 10% of their wages, like that was somehow a good estimate. Most would make 200-300% of their wages in tips or more. They would all very stubbornly claim they were being honest if challenged on it.
