Taxable wage base and taxable wage rates. 

(1) All remuneration for personal services as defined in section 72-1328, Idaho Code, equal to the average annual wage in covered employment for the penultimate calendar year, rounded to the nearest multiple of one hundred dollars ($100) or the amount of taxable wage base specified in the federal unemployment tax act, whichever is higher, shall be the taxable wage base for purposes of this chapter. For the purpose of determining the taxable wage base under this chapter, the average annual wage is computed by dividing that calendar year’s total wages in covered employment, excluding state government and cost reimbursement employers, by the average number of workers in covered employment for that calendar year as derived from data reported to the department by covered employers.
