Payroll taxes are comprised of Medicare and Social Security taxes--also withheld from an employee's paycheck. However, the employer also pays payroll taxes to the federal government for these programs (in addition to the amount an employee pays).
As a broad definition, a payroll tax is a tax withheld by an employer and paid on behalf of its employees, based on the wages or salary of the employee.
