income taxes

Government wage deductions

Income taxes are taxes levied on earnings—wages, salaries, investment returns, and other income.

Most countries collect income taxes from individuals and corporations to fund government operations.

In the U.S., federal income taxes are due annually by April 15: I owe three thousand in income taxes this year.

The singular income tax refers to the system itself.
