From the Wisconsin UI Employer Update
- Beginning in 2009, each employer will pay unemployment taxes on the first $12,000 of wages paid to each employee annually. This “taxable wage base” will increase to $13,000 in 2011 and $14,000 in 2013.
- Decreased basic tax rates and increased the solvency tax rates by the same amount.
- Required employers with 25 or more employees to file wage and tax reports electronically.
- Required all employer agents and certain large employers to pay taxes electronically beginning with payments made in Jan., 2009. Employers required to pay electronically will be notified later this year.
- Allowed employers with at least $1,000 in first quarter taxes to defer payments. This goes into effect with the first quarter 2009 payment.
