You pay whatever tax rate applies when you file, but employers typically withhold a higher percentage, somewhere in the area of 40-45% when giving a bonus. I think this is mandated by the gov't with the idea of not causing the employee to have a large tax bill when it comes time to file. Better to get it back at the end of the year than to have to come up with a large sum. At least this is the only reason I can think to tax it this way.
