(a) In accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the Administrator, each employer within or doing business within the City shall deduct at the time of the payment of such salary, wages, commission or other compensation, the tax of two percent (2%) per annum of the gross salaries, wages, commissions or other compensation due by the employer to the employee and shall, on or before the twentieth day of the month following the close of each calendar quarter make a return and pay to the Administrator the amount of taxes so deducted, subject to the provisions of subsections (c), (d) and (e) hereof. These returns shall be on a form or forms 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.
(b) An employer in collecting this tax shall be deemed to hold the same, until payment is made by such employer to the City, as a trustee for the benefit of the City. Any such tax collected by such employer from his employees, shall, until the same is paid to the City, be deemed a trust fund in the hands of the employer.
(c) An employer who deducts the tax in an amount of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) or more per month shall pay to the Administrator before the twentieth of the following month the amount of taxes so deducted on a monthly basis beginning with the first month the employer exceeds two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) in taxes withheld.
(d) An employer who makes such payments on a monthly basis for the first two months of a calendar quarter shall pay such tax deducted for the third month of a calendar quarter at the regular time for filing the employer's quarterly return of income tax withheld.
(e) Such payments shall be on a form or forms furnished by or obtainable from the Administrator upon request, setting forth the amount of tax deducted for the month. A receipted copy of such form shall be returned to the employer to be attached to and filed with the employer's quarterly return of income tax withheld.
(f) No person shall be required to withhold the tax on wages or other compensation paid a domestic servant employed by him exclusively in or about such person's residence, even though such residence is in the City, but such employee shall be subject to all of the requirements of this chapter.
