Excise tax is a regressive tax. It is also an indirect tax.

Indirect taxes are those paid by individuals through their purchases. In this case, the excise tax imposed on cigarettes are indirect taxes because the price of the cigarette includes its corresponding excise tax, which the seller will pay to the government. In comparison, direct taxes are those that the individual pays directly to the government. An example of this is the income tax.

Amounts withheld from each employee for social security and medicare vary by state.
satela [25.4K]

It is False.

No matter which states the employee lives, the amounts withheld from each employee for social security and medicare do not vary by state. The present tax rate for social security for employers and employees is 6.2% and the present current rate of medicare is 1.45% for both the employer and employee.

Employers are typically required to withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes from an employee's paycheck and pay the employer's share of those taxes.

The Social Security Tax and the Medicare Tax have different rates, and only the Social Security tax has a salary cap. The base salary ceiling is the maximum taxable salary in the year. Determine the withholding amount for Social Security and Medicare contributions by multiplying each payment by the employee's tax rate.
