(a) In accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the Administrator, each employer within or doing business within the Village shall deduct, at the time of the payment of salary, wages, commission or other compensation, the tax of two percent (unless a different tax rate is imposed in Section 191.03) per year of the gross salaries, wages, commissions or other compensation due by such employer to an employee, and shall, on or before the last day of each month, make a return and pay to the Administrator the amount of taxes so deducted during the previous month. However, if the amount of the tax so deducted by an employer in any one month is less than one hundred dollars ($100.00), the employer may defer the filing of a return and payment of the amount deducted until the last day of the month following the end of the calendar quarter in which such month occurred.
(b) Such returns shall be on a form prescribed by or acceptable to the Administrator and shall be subject to the rules and regulations prescribed therefor by the Administrator. Such employer shall be liable for the payment of the tax required to be deducted and withheld whether or not such taxes have, in fact, been withheld.
(c) Such employer in collecting such tax shall be deemed to hold the same until payment is made by such employer to the Village as a Trustee for the benefit of the Village, and any such tax collected by such employer from his or her employees shall, until the same is paid to the Village, be deemed a trust fund in the hands of such employer.
(d) No person shall be required to withhold the tax on wages or other compensation paid domestic servants employed by him or her exclusively in or about such person's residence, even though such residence is in the Village, but such employee shall be subject to all of the requirements of this chapter. (Ord. 621. Passed 10-9-72.)
(e) The officer or employee having control or supervision of or charged with the responsibility of filing the return and making the payment shall be personally liable for failure to file the return or pay the tax due as required herein. The dissolution, bankruptcy or reorganization of any such employer does not discharge an officer’s or employee’s liability for a prior failure of such business to file a return or pay taxes due. (Ord. 2074. Passed 9-11-06.)
