Eli5 – Why are bonuses taxed for everyone

619 views

I work in a profession where my bonus is a small set amount and isn’t guaranteed (you have to qualify for it). I really look forward to earning the bonus and have to work pretty hard to get it. So why are bonuses taxed when I already have my regular salary chopped up? It’s pretty disheartening to see this small amount reduced after earning it.
