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).
When paying independent contractors, employers do not have to pay any employer taxes. Employees typically have social security and Medicare (FICA) taxes taken out of their paycheck. Independent contractors, however, pay Self-Employment Tax (SE tax). SE tax is similar to the FICA taxes. With FICA taxes, half of the taxes are withheld from the employee paycheck and the other half is paid by the employer. But with SE tax, you will pay the entire tax.
