Even with a properly-working filtration system, sanitizers at their recommended levels, and a watchful eye, algae blooms can still develop. Algae spores can enter a pool in a variety of different ways, but is most commonly introduced into a pool through wind, rain, dirt, and even on a swimmerâs body or bathing suit.
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.
The Medicare tax percentage is 1.45% in 2017. Withhold 1.45% of each employeeâs wages, and contribute the matching employer portion. Medicare taxes provide aid for things like healthcare and hospice care. Letâs look at an example of how much is taken out for Medicare. Your employee is paid $1,000 per pay period. You would withhold $14.50 from their pay for Medicare tax ($1,000 X 1.45%). Also, contribute $14.50 for the matching employer portion.
