What federal taxes do employers pay?

Answer 1

A zillion..depending on their business. Most are simply invisible to either employees or customers...simply a cost of doing business. What payroll taxes do they pay...same answer. Most to the benefit of the employee. Most predominate is the half of FICA they pay, appox. @7.65% of your salary. And of course it also depends on what you mean by taxes. But unemployment, disability, workers comp would be just some of the others. Agreeably, some are at the State level, or even more local. and some have both a State & Federal component. Standard generalization is that payroll tax and benefits amounts to an additional @30% of the base pay.
