Blue States Looking at Ways to Avoid Trump-GOP SALT Penalty (wages, salary)

[Seacove]

This article is amazing, if blue states can have employers pay the tax, the GOP tax plan doesn't get a cut:

"Or you could, equivalently, put everything on the employer’s side. They budget $107,650 for the job, pay a 14.2 percent employer-side payroll tax, and set the employee’s salary at $92,363.70, for the same ultimate effect.

This second option is what the state payroll tax fix to the Republican tax bill involves. States usually impose income rather than payroll taxes when raising general revenue, and levy them on the individual side. But they could tax wages on the employer side instead and accomplish the same thing.

And — this part is crucial — employer payroll taxes are still deductible under federal law."
