Why It Matters in Sebastian

Payroll for Sebastian employers

Sebastian has grown from a fishing village settled in the 1880s into the most populous city in Indian River County. Commercial fishing families still operate from Indian River Drive, and Sebastian Inlet, the lagoon and Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge draw anglers and visitors. Restaurants, retailers and trades fill the US 1 corridor, and the city operates Sebastian Municipal Airport, where it promotes economic development.

Florida does not tax wages, so there is no state income tax to withhold. Employers still owe reemployment tax on the first $7,000 of each worker’s pay, with an RT-6 due every quarter. Seasonal hiring makes those filings easy to get wrong. Brian files the RT-6 alongside your 941s so nothing slips through.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Sebastian business owners ask about payroll.

Do I have to come to Vero Beach to set up payroll?

No. Most clients work with Brian by phone, email and secure upload. Sebastian employers send new hire paperwork through secure upload, and Brian sets up payroll from there.

Do I withhold Florida income tax from my employees?

No. Florida has no state income tax, so you withhold federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare only. You do owe Florida reemployment tax, which the employer pays.

Are my deckhands employees or contractors?

It depends on how much control you have over the work and how they are paid. Brian gives guidance on classification before the year-end forms go out.

What does payroll cost?

It depends on what you need. The first call is free, and Brian quotes the work before anything starts.

What does reemployment tax cost a new Sebastian business?

New Florida employers usually start at a 2.7% rate on the first $7,000 each employee earns in a year. The RT-6 is due April 30, July 31, October 31 and January 31.
