Re:  State Withholding Tax Change

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In response to the state fiscal emergency, the California personal income tax withholding tables have been revised effective for November earnings paid December 1 (MO) and December 7 (MA).  

The withholding rates have been increased by 10% in order to accelerate tax collections by the State and to prevent under withholding by employees.  For example, if your tax rate was 6.25%, it will become 6.875% for wages paid on or after November 1, 2009.  In addition, the rates for supplemental wages and bonus payments have increased to 6.6% and 10.23%, respectively, effective November 1.

While the withholding rates have increased, the underlying state tax rates that determine the taxes employees owe in 2009 have not changed. 

For more information, contact the Franchise Tax Board at www.ftb.ca.gov or call the FTB at 1-800-852-5711.
