Proposed Solutions

Voluntary withholding of a “fictitious” tax and transfer to the employees’ tax account.

This means that your employer deducts the tax from your monthly pay and deposits it separately into an account on your behalf. That way, you won’t have to make a large “back payment” at the end of the year—it’s already been taken care of.
