Vermont has a Child Care Tax going live on 7/1/24. What do we need to set up in Square Payroll?

Hi there @blacklanternvt - Thanks so much for your patience here 🙏

Our Payroll team provided me the following info: "Effective July 1, 2024, Vermont employers are subject to a 0.44% tax on employees’ wages. All wages subject to Vermont income tax will also be subject to the Child Care Contribution (CCC) tax. Square Payroll will support this new program by calculating and collecting the tax, as well as making the quarterly payment and filing on your behalf. For more information on the program, please visit the state website."

I hope this information is helpful but please do let me know if you have any additional questions 🙂 You can also connect with our Payroll Support Team here.

Where to split the VT CCC

Starting 7/1 - Vermont is implementing a Child Care Contribution tax. It will be submitted with the withholding tax - it's .44% but employers can split that between employer (.33%) and employee (.11%).

Where do we enter this in square payroll if we're electing to have the employee pay .11%?

Thanks!
