Tax issues are the single most significant set of regulatory burdens for most small firms.

(1888PressRelease) January 25, 2012 - Payroll Tax Cut temporarily extended into 2012. IRS required that employers should implement the new payroll tax rate as soon as possible in 2012 but not later than Jan. 31, 2012. Small businesses that are having trouble staying current with payroll taxes can turn to new ezPaycheck small business payroll system from halfpricesoft.com.

The Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 temporarily extends the two percentage point payroll tax cut for employees, continuing the reduction of their Social Security tax withholding rate from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent of wages paid through Feb. 29, 2012. The employer tax rate for social security remains unchanged at 6.2%. The social security wage base limit is $110,100.

"Tax issues are the single most significant set of regulatory burdens for most small firms. The Government Accountability Office recently estimated that 1.6 million businesses are behind on paying their payroll taxes," said Halfpricesoft.com's founder Dr. Ge. "So it's a great feeling knowing that we save small businesses money on their payroll software needs. What's even better, though, is knowing we make their life less frustrating and save them much needed time."
