One of the first things that will greet every work- ing person with the dawn of this new year will be an increase in social security taxes. Social security payment deductions from wage and salary checks will rise to 4.8 percent of earnings up to $7,800. This means that any employee with earnings of $7,800 will pay $374.40 in social security taxes. Employers will pay an equal amount. Thus, the total tax take in the name of Social Security will reach nearly 10 percent of taxable payrolls. Nearly 10 percent of every dollar up to maximum taxable earnings will go to the federal government to pay for social security and medicare as much as $748.80 per employee. And more increases in thi3 tax is coming in the years ahead. By 1987, it will amount to 5.9 percent each for employee and employer. A little pamphlet issued by the Associated Industries of Alabama, entitled Another Chunk Out of Your Check, explains why social security costs are increasing so rapidly. There are two main reasons. One, a greac number of people are now getting benefits which come to more than the taxes they and their employers have paid into social security. Two, Congress has changed the law many times to (a) add more groups to the program, (b) make it easier to get benefits, (c) increase the benefits, and (d) add medicare. Each change costs both employees and employers more money. So remember, among those who will be first to greet you in this new year will be the tax collector.
