U.S. Steel Photo Social Security changes place greater burden on high earnings Changes in the Social Security law enacted in 1972 will raise the amounts paid by all wage earners, employers, and self employed Americans subject to the laws provisions, but the heaviest impact will be higher on incomes, according to Utah Foundation, the private nonprofit research organization. In 1973, the Social Security tax paid by covered wage earners and their employers will go up about 12 percent up to the present $9,000 ceiling on covered wages, the Foundation noted in a research brief released this week. Next year, however, the ceiling on earnings subject to the tax will go up to $10,800, and tax payments of those making $10,000 a year will be increased 25 percent and the increase on earnings of $10,800 and above will go up 35 percent. Employer contributions will be increased in like amounts. There will be no change in the tax rate in 1974, but the ceiling on earnings subject to the tax will again be raised, to $12,000, so that the tax on salaries of $12,000 more will go up an additional 11 percent. Taxes on the incomes of persons will also be increased, although not as steeply as those on employees and employers. In the category of the heaviest impact will also be on higher incomes, due to the progressive to the adjournment of Congress. increases in amounts subject to Hie added benefits principally d aid the tax.
