Employers are responsible for withholding and reporting the 0.9 percent Additional Medicare Tax, which became effective in 2013. If an employer fails to withhold the correct amount from wages it pays to an employee, the employer may be liable for the amount not withheld and subject to applicable penalties. Background.
MEDICARE TAX RATE. The Medicare portion of the FICA tax is 2.9%, of which half (1.45%) is paid by employees and the other half by employers. Unlike Society Security, there is no limit on the amount of wages subject to the Medicare portion of the tax.hereâs a problem with the FICA tax because Social Security and Medicare are so poorly run by the government. The government itself estimates that Social Security is underfunded by around 30%. Either payouts must decrease by 30%, or the minimum age to start receiving Social Security must rise from age 62.
