Question

Fred Stone is an employee of Henrock Company. During the first part of the year, Stone earned $4,340 while working in State Q. For the remainder of the year, the company transferred him to State S where he earned $27,000. Henrock Company's tax rate in State Q is 4.6%, and in State S, 4.0% on the first $7,000. If reciprocal arrangements exist between the two states, determine the SUTA tax that the company paid on Stone's earnings in State S.

Answer 1

Answer:

$280

Explanation:

SUTA is a synonym for State Unemployment Tax paid by employers and employees , and used by the government to provide the insurance expenditures for the unemployed citizens

The reciprocal arrangement exempts the tax payer from his former country of work. H e will be taxed in the new country of work at the applicable rate

SUTA ceiling earning = $7000

SUTA rate = 4.0%

SUTA = $280
