Abstract: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) designed the Gaming Industry Tip Compliance Agreement (GITCA) to promote compliance by gaming industry employers and employees with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) relating to tip income and to reduce disputes under IRC Section 3121(q). Under the GITCA Program, a gaming industry employer and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) work together to reach a GITCA that establishes minimum tip rates for participating tipped employees in specified occupational categories, prescribes a threshold level of participation by the employer's employees, and reduces compliance burdens for the employer and enforcement burdens for the IRS.
