Payroll tax refers to taxes withheld from employee wages and paid by employers, including Social Security, Medicare (FICA), federal and state unemployment taxes, and income tax withholding. Employers are responsible for calculating, withholding, and remitting these taxes accurately and on schedule to avoid penalties. Payroll and tax specialists must stay current on changing rates and regulations at the federal, state, and local levels.
