- There was not an EO for a payroll tax cut, but instead a Memo directing Mnuchin to defer the withholding of the FICA tax for 9/1/20 - 12/31/2020. Mnuchin is also directed to "explore avenues" to eliminate repayment. Assuming that no avenue is found, then the deferred taxes must be repaid in 2021. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/memorandum-deferring-payroll-tax-obligations-light-ongoing-covid-19-disaster/ 9 comments politics
