A tax paid on the wages and salaries of employees.

Answer 1

The tax you are referring to is typically known as income tax. In many countries, this tax is withheld from employees' wages and salaries by employers and sent to the government on behalf of the employee. This is often referred to as pay-as-you-earn (PAYE) or withholding tax. Additionally, there may also be payroll taxes, which can include contributions to social security, Medicare, or similar programs, depending on the jurisdiction.
