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.
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: 1  a 6.2 percent Social Security tax; and. 2  a 1.45 percent Medicare tax (the âregularâ Medicare tax).nlike 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 employerâs portion.
