An employer's federal payroll tax responsibilities include withholding from an employee's compensation and paying an employer's contribution for Social Security and Medicare taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA).
Employers have numerous payroll tax withholding and payment obligations. Of the utmost importance is the proper payment of what are commonly known as FICA taxes. FICA taxes are somewhat unique in that there is required withholding from an employee's wages as well as an employer's portion of the taxes that must be paid.
The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) is the federal law requiring you to withhold three separate taxes from the wages you pay your employees. FICA is comprised of the following taxes:
6.2 percent Social Security tax;
1.45 percent Medicare tax (the “regular” Medicare tax); and
Since 2013, a 0.9 percent Medicare surtax when the employee earns over $200,000.
You must withhold these amounts from an employee's wages.
The law also requires you to pay the employer's portion of two of these taxes:
6.2 percent Social Security tax
1.45 percent Medicare tax (the “regular” Medicare tax).
As you can see, the employer’s portion for the Social security tax and the regular Medicare tax is the same amount that you're required to withhold from your employees' wages. (Different rules apply for employees who receive tips.) There is no employer portion for the 0.9 percent Medicare surtax on high-earning employees.
In other words, you withhold a 6.2 percent Social Security tax from your employee’s wages and you pay an additional 6.2 percent as your employer share of the tax (6.2 employee portion + 6.2 employer portion = 12.4 percent total). Also, you withhold a 1.45 percent Medicare tax from your employee’s wages and you pay an additional 1.45 percent as your employer share (1.45 employee portion + 1.45 employer portion = 2.9 percent total). The total of all four portions is 15.3 percent (6.2 percent employee portion of Social Security + 6.2 percent employer portion of Social Security + 1.45 percent employee portion of Medicare + 1.45 percent employer portion of Medicare = 15.3 percent).
Unlike the other FICA taxes, the 0.9 percent Medicare surtax is imposed on the employee portion only. There is no employer match for the Medicare surtax (also called the Additional Medicare Tax). You withhold this 0.9 percent tax from employee wages and you do not pay an employer’s portion. Also, unlike the other FICA taxes, you withhold the 0.9 percent Medicare surtax only to the extent that wages paid to an employee exceed $200,000 in a calendar year. You begin withholding the surtax in the pay period in which you pay wages in excess of this $200,000 “floor” to an employee and you continue to withhold it each pay period until the end of the calendar year.

When she tried to get her old high school summer job back at local Cool Rags Clothier, she learned that the manager no longer hires college students during the summer months. Which of the following strategies do you recommend that Danielle pursue?Answer C
Under the condition that country X can manufacture cars more cheaply. An absolute advantage devours in a country if it makes good over alternative country and uses a smaller amount of wealth to yield that good. The result of a country’s natural legacy is the absolute advantage. Another example is extracting oil in Saudi Arabia is pretty much just a matter of drilling a hole. Generating oil in other countries can is essential substantial exploration and costly technologies for drilling and extraction if certainly they have any oil at all. The United States devours about the richest farmland in the world which manufacture it at ease to grow corn and wheat than in many other countries. Guatemala and Colombia partake environment particularly suitable for growing coffee. Chile and Zambia have about of the world’s richest copper mines. As some have claimed that geography is destiny. Chile will bargain copper and Guatemala will harvest coffee and they will trade. When each country has a product others necessity and it can be manufactured with fewer resources in one country over another then it is easy to visualize all parties do good from trade. Thinking about trade just in relations of geography and absolute advantage is incomplete. Trade actually happens because of comparative advantage.
In my opinion, we all have our own values and true colors so we can't judge and predict by only looking cover so we need time to make sure what kind of other stuffs need to fill up after her or his probation period. After that we should decide which is the best way and shouldn't terminate by just only watching cover of a new one during his or her probation period.
I don't know the answer. I just want you to know that. Good day mate.
