* * * * *

(c) Determination of Federal

withholding tax rate (FWTR). Moving

expense reimbursements constitute

supplemental wages for Federal income

tax purposes. Therefore, an agency must

withhold at the withholding rate

applicable to supplemental wages.

Currently, the supplemental wages

withholding rate is 28 percent. The

supplemental wages withholding rate

should be used in calculating the WTA

unless under an agency’s withholding

procedures a different withholding rate

is used pursuant to IRS tax regulations.

In such cases, the applicable

withholding rate shall be substituted for

the supplemental wages withholding

rate in the calculation shown in

paragraph (d) of this section.

(d) Calculation of the WTA. The WTA

is calculated by substituting the

amounts determined in paragraphs (b)

and (c) of this section into the following

WTA gross-up formula:

Formula:

Y X

X = N − ( ) 1

Where:

Y = WTA

X = FWTR (generally, 28 percent)

N = nondeductible moving expenses/

covered taxable reimbursements

Example:

If:

X = 28 percent

N = $20,000

Then:

Y = − ( ) .

. $20, 281 28

000

Y = .3889($20,000)

Y = $7778.00
