What it does
The Gig Is Up Act would require large businesses with at least $100 million in annual gross receipts and 10,000 or more independent contractors to withhold payroll taxes on payments to those contractors, treating such payments as wages for Social Security and Medicare tax purposes. It would double the employer and employee payroll tax rates under section 3111 for these payments and include half of the imposed tax in the contractors’ self-employment earnings for Social Security benefits. The changes would apply to payments made after December 31, 2026, and would affect certain large employers and the independent contractors who work for them.
