What type of business qualify to withhold tax?

By using the term withhold, I suspect your intending to ask what Cos withhold employees income tax from pay. It doesn't have to be a company, officially, in any way. Any pay to an employee (rather than to someone who works as an independent contractor - which in itself requires certain things be maintained - MUST have withholding (and the matching FICA contrbutions, etc) by the employer. So, for example, if you employ a nanny, or an elderly person a caretaker on your own, as many do, you must provide payroll withholding and reporting.
