Hi. I have a situation with my company. They deduct monthly taxes from us but now they are saying that we need to pay a certain amount because the tax due for monthly computation is different from the annual one. They are asking for about 3000-10000 per employee. They are also saying that this is due to us changing our status (like from single with dependents to single without dependents). Does something like this really happen? Is this actually fair? Thanks for your time.
You are talking about Withholding Tax on Compensation, right? Actually this happens when a company is not deducting the right amount of taxes, if they deduct less than what should be for sure you have to pay it by the end of the year, now if they deduct more it will be refunded back to you. Yes in other cases the change of status also has a great effect on your taxes, a change of status also changes your tax bracket within the tax table. Also lets say within a year, for 7 months you’re just earning minimum so no tax is being deducted, then suddenly you got an increase so your income now is taxable, what do you think will happen? It means, those 7 months is now taxable as well, and you will be paying too much by the end of the year. That’s how it is!
