But that doesn't mean it's a tax on the employee. That's like saying sales tax is on the business, when it's actually on the customer.
I take it that they mean that it is indirectly a tax on the employee in the sense that it is money the employee could have earned but does not because the company has to pay the tax. Could have earned as in the salary could have been higher without it.
On the otherhand, that is true for any tax a company has to pay, just not as directly releated.
(Or I could be wrong and they mean something else.)
