[edit] Payroll taxes in other countries

We need to compile a list of countries with payroll taxes.

Do any of the African countries or China have payroll taxes?--71.105.27.126 08:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge in PAYE and Pay-as-you-go tax

My first thoughts on seeing the article is that there's not enough material to support multiple articles on the topic. I would propose merging in PAYE and Pay-as-you-go tax into the article. Does US style witholding also qualify as a payroll tax? I understand it doesn't replace the need to make a return as well, but the same holds for people with non-simple tax affairs in the UK system too. Winklethorpe 13:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

When I have a little more time today, I'll add the banners for discussion for merge. Payroll tax in the U.S. is normally associated with a select group of taxes related to Social Security, Health Care, and Unemployment. Income taxes are usually just called income taxes and do not usually imply payroll taxes. Of course both are payroll taxes and income taxes (and both use withholding) but we use the terms to generally mean different types of taxes. Morphh ^(talk) 13:36, 05 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Social security and Medicare taxes

"on each additional amount of gross compensation" - should this say "wages"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Morphh (talk • contribs) 12:46, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
