PAYE
Paye is also an archaic term for
caulking. PAYE (pay-as-you-earn) is an amount collected by
employers when making salary or wage payments to employees on behalf of the taxation authority. The amount deducted paid to the tax authority and is, in effect, a provisional payment of
tax on the employee's
income. The amount withheld is determined by tax tables that determine the amount of tax to be deducted for the salary or wage paid to the employee. Individual countries may apply this principle differently in order to streamline the administration process - the
tax code in the UK is an example of such a variation. In some countries, the PAYE system is also used to collect
national insurance or medical insurance contributions.
