Best Answer

The withholding tax rate is based on the W-4 form you complete at the beginning of each tax year. This tax that is withheld from your paycheck during the year is merely an estimate of the taxes you will owe at the end of the year. You are required to pay into the IRS an amount equal to or exceeding 90% of the tax you owed in the previous tax year. If you do not pay this amount of more you may be subject to tax penalties due to underpayment of taxes so you really need to be carefull to pay enough tax during the tax year.

Withholding tax rates on interest payment?

When you dont give bank etc. your tax file number they end up withholding tax of about 45%, but dont worry you can claim back the correct amount at the end of the year on your income tax return - you just have to write down the amount of interest you earned under the section that states "tax withheld."


What does 'net' mean with regards to interest rates?

It can mean many things depending on the context. With respect to mortgage interest, your effective (net) interest rate will be nominal rate (quoted rate) less tax savings you can achieve when itemizing deductions on your 1040. net interest rate = nominal rate - (nominal rate * your income marginal tax rate) or net interest rate = nominal rate * (100% - your marginal income tax rate) It will be analogical calculation with respect to corporate bonds or treasury bonds, since interest on them is taxable on federal level. But here you will be worse off, not better off, since you will be making less due to taxes. For municipal bonds, which are exempt from federal income taxes - your nominal coupon interest will be equal to your net coupon interest when analyzing federal tax implications. I am pretty sure the term Net Interest can be used in many more situations.

It varies by state. Some states do not have a state tax withholding form - and in that situation an employee can submit a Federal W-4, designating that he/she is only changing their state tax withholding only.
