Vermont State Tax

Note: For records on 5-2-2 Payroll Records that have the Payroll Type of 2—Bonus, Sage 100 Contractor calculates state income tax using the published flat-rate.

Employees who work in Vermont can select one of two marital status options. Employees should use the W-4VT Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate if withholding is to be based on W-4 information which is different from the Federal W-4.
