About this market
Market context
Employment tax encompasses all taxes related to the employment relationship, charged to either the employer or the employee. These taxes typically fund social welfare programs, unemployment benefits, and government services, and include income tax withholding, social security contributions, and other mandatory levies on wages and salaries.
In the US, 'Employment Tax' primarily refers to federal income tax withholding, Social Security, Medicare (FICA), and Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) taxes, along with state-specific equivalents. Employers remit these taxes to the IRS and state tax agencies, with quarterly filings (e.g., Form 941 for federal). In the UK, it covers PAYE (Pay As You Earn) income tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs) collected by HMRC, with real-time information (RTI) reporting. The EU sees diverse social security rates and income tax withholding rules across member states, often collected by national tax authorities with monthly filing obligations. Latin America (e.g., Mexico) features IMSS (Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social) contributions and income tax withholdings (ISR), with complex calculations and monthly filings to SAT.
