A. in the case of taxes from compensation, your accountant must determine your whole year taxable compensation, and from that amount personal exemptions will be deducted. the amount will varry wether you are single, married, head of the family and additional exemptions for dependent children up to a maximum of four. the difference becomes your net taxable income for a year. this is where the income tax rates for individual with compensation is applied. the product will be your income tax liability for the whole year. to lessen the burden of your tax, it is divided into 12 months to give you a monthly deduction from your payroll. hope this help.
