## Summary

**Reclassifies pay to many gig workers as wages so employers must withhold payroll taxes.** The bill targets very large firms and doubles the payroll tax rates applied to those payments for tax purposes, effective for payments after December 31, 2026. - Workers: Payments made to independent contractors of covered firms would be treated as wages for payroll tax withholding, changing how those payments are taxed at the source. - Large businesses: Firms with at least $100 million in annual gross receipts and at least 10,000 contractors in a year would face withholding obligations and have the payroll tax rates in section 3111 multiplied by 2. - Social Security accounting: The Social Security Act would be adjusted to include amounts treated as wages under the new rule and an amount equal to one-half of the doubled tax for tracking and crediting purposes.
