Most credit and debit card tips are paid out to servers with cash from the register at the end of the day. The amount of the tips is recorded, but the recipients are not, and taxes are not assessed against the tips. Technically, servers are supposed to declare the cash they receive as income, but it is accepted practice not to do so.

- greedo 5y agoI'm not sure about that. It's been thirty years since I waited tables, but our restaurant required us to turn in tips (they were pooled and distributed to everyone who worked that shift). The withheld taxes on them, and if we skimmed tips and didn't turn them into the pool at the end of our shift, we'd get ratted out by coworkers and fired.
