Plain-English Summary
Large businesses would be required to withhold payroll taxes directly from payments made to independent contractors, similar to how they currently withhold taxes from employee paychecks. This change would affect gig workers, freelancers, and other self-employed people who work with major companies, potentially reducing their tax filing burden but also changing how they receive and manage their income. The goal is to ensure consistent tax collection and reduce tax evasion among independent contractor arrangements.
