Federal tax withholding - no (but lowered to reflect 9% rate)
SS and Medicare - yes (that is what offsets much of the bite for sales tax, for lower income earners).

“Payroll Taxes” are Social Security and Medicare.

Like a lot of legislation, they’ll have to pass it before you can find out that you’re screwed.

Social Security and Medicare taxes are the payroll taxes. I would expect that the 9% income tax would still be withheld from paychecks, especially since it is so easy to calculate and doesn't change based on how much the victim...er, taxpayer would make.

Yes, in the current lingo, payroll taxes include SS & Medicare. The 999 tax is to replace those payroll taxes as well as the Federal Withholding Tax.

[TLittlefella]

So far my simple questions has yielded conflicting answers, so once again I ask these simple questions:

What constitutes payroll taxes?
Will the Federal Income withholding tax be removed?
Will the Social Security withholding tax be removed?
Will the Medicare withholding tax be removed?

Are all those taxes considered payroll taxes?

[Marie]

Everything is removed. You pay a one-time 9% flat tax.

[chris_bdba]

You will only pay 9% in federal withholding the rest goes away except for state withholding.
