Social security

Abstract: Abstract The main social security legislation is now comprised in the Social Security Acts of 1992 and supporting statutory instruments and amendments. The subject is a wide one and only an outline is given below. Arguably, social security contributions are not a tax but their effect is very similar. Although ultimate benefits such as retirement pensions are secured, when you pay the contributions, you must normally do so out of your after-tax income. Social security contributions payments do not reduce your taxable income any more than do income tax payments.
