Previously, the victory tax was applied to all medalists' reward money and the value of their medals. During the last Olympics, gold medalists received a sum of $25,000, silver medalists raked in $15,000, and bronze winners collect $10,000 â all of which were taxed as income. Meanwhile the value of medals were roughly $600 for gold, $300 for silver, and only $4 for bronze (which are mostly made out of copper).
The law requires employers to withhold taxes from employee earnings to fund the Social Security and Medicare programs. These are called Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes. Your employer also pays a tax equal to the amount withheld from employee earnings. The self-employed pay Self-Employed Contributions Act (SECA) taxes on net earnings. SECA taxes also fund Social Security and Medicare. The self-employed pay both the employee and the employer share of SECA. But the law permits them to deduct half of the self-employment tax as a business expense.
