Payroll Tax Hike Probable For Social Security Reform
Washington specialists say if Congress enacts Johnson's plan to broaden Social Security benefits next year the revenue would come from raising payroll tax rates and extending the wage base. The base would rise to 7,800 with a permanent extension, and the rate could reach 4.6 percent for both employee and employer, producing a maximum tax of 358.80 and a $68.40 increase for workers at the top base, with timing tied to benefit implementation.
