Payroll taxes are taxes that are often calculated and remitted based on a percentage of an employee's wages, but they can also include fixed charges. Payroll taxes consist of two types of taxes: 1) taxes that are withheld by an employer from an employee's wages and 2) taxes paid by an employer based on the amount of an employee's wages. These taxes may be advanced income tax payments on behalf of an employee. They are also employer and employee payments to a variety of government programs, such as social security, and unemployment/disability insurance. less -
