What does it mean to collect and receive social security?

Legal analysis: Withholding and remitting refers to a tax payment method in which units and individuals who have the obligation to withhold and remit according to the provisions of the tax law deduct the tax payable from the income held by taxpayers and remit it to the tax authorities. Including:

(1) Units and individuals that pay income to taxpayers;

(2) Units that handle unified deposit and loan business for taxpayers.

The difference between withholding and remitting: the withholding agent directly holds the taxpayer's income and directly deducts the taxpayer's tax payable from it. Withholding agents collect taxpayers' tax payable in their economic dealings with taxpayers and pay them on their behalf.
