Effective June 1, 2010, employers that withhold $20,000 or more annually from employee compensation will be required to remit withheld taxes to the department on a semi-weekly basis. Under Act 48 of 2009, employers whose payday falls on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday will be required to make a deposit of the tax the Wednesday following the payday; if the payday falls on a Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday, the deposit is due the following Friday.
Earlier this year the Department of Revenue issued letters to all employers who are required to change their deposit frequency to semi-weekly. If you have received a notice please forward it to us so that we can implement this change for your first payroll dated in June.
